Ricky's 7* play on BAL.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Orioles are 6-0 in their last 6 games with the total set at 9.0-10.5.

- The Orioles are 20-7 in their last 27 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

- The Guardians are 0-4 in their last 4 during game 2 of a series.

Verdict: The Value is on the home favorite.
