Dodgers vs. Orioles: Game 2 predictions, odds and picks — Aug. 28, MLB 2024
The LA Dodgers are coming off a close defeat against the Baltimore Orioles. The offense scored two runs and gave up three to the O's in return. It was a tight game as both pitchers looked sharp on the mound. The O's were predicted to lose but their offense proved their worth again.
Jack Flaherty suffered the loss for his team after surrendering three earned runs. Dave Roberts will send Walker Buehler to the mound as their starter in Game 2. Buelher's return to the starting rotation has not gone well as he continues to struggle with a 6.09 ERA and a 1-4 record. Buehler must find his pace to get back as a top pitcher.
The O's are not an easy team to defeat as they continue to fight for the playoffs and are known to rebound well with some of the best players on their side. Offensively, they have a strong squad that could score runs with ease.
The hard-throwing Corbin Burnes will be sent to the mound in Game 2. Burnes has a strong 3.28 ERA with a 12-6 record and has been a bright spot for his team since his arrival. With enough support from the plate, the O's can make this a tough one for their opponent.

Dodgers vs. Orioles Prediction
The Boys in Blue have Buehler on the mound who has not had a great season. Buehler has been on and off with injuries and has struggled to last through six innings.
Despite the right support from the plate, Buehler is no match for the O's and their offense. The Orioles have Burnes who has a spectacular ERA and the potential to get some early strikeouts in this game. The odds are against the Dodger squad to win as the O's are predicted to prevail.
Prediction: Baltimore Orioles -1.5 (-110)
