The Baltimore Orioles aren’t the best team in Major League Baseball this season. Far from it, actually. But they might be the best team to bet on.
Despite sitting in last place in the AL East, where they’ve finished in four of the last five seasons, the Orioles are much improved in 2022. At 43-44 entering Monday, they’re just nine wins from last year’s total and two games out of a Wild Card spot.
More importantly, they’re a league-best 57-30 against the spread this year, including 31-11 at home. According to Action Network, if you had bet $100 on Baltimore’s moneyline each game this year, you would be up $1,296.
To say a turnaround is taking place in Baltimore is an understatement. It’s safe to say several years of early draft picks are finally starting to pay dividends.
