Baltimore Orioles vs. Tampa Bay Rays: A Tale of Two Teams (and a Lot of Props)
June 28, 2025 — 8:06 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles (34-46) and Tampa Bay Rays (46-35) collide in a mismatch of identities: one a punchless, ERA-choked team, the other a scrappy underdog with a knack for pulling off miracles in cleats. Let’s break it down with the precision of a middle-school math test.
The Big Picture
- Orioles: 4.89 ERA (27th in MLB). Their pitching staff could probably win a "Most Likely to Leak" award.
- Rays: 3.50 ERA (8th in MLB). They’ve won 50% of games as underdogs this season—because why not?
- Moneyline: Rays are a slight favorite (-110), Orioles (+100). Bet accordingly, or don’t. Your call.
Key Players to Watch
- Ryan O’Hearn (.301 BA) for Baltimore. He’s the team’s offensive spark plug, which is like being the “glue” in a jar of glitter.
- Junior Caminero (20 HRs) for Tampa. He’s the Rays’ secret weapon—aka the guy who’ll hit a moonshot while you’re still finding your popcorn.
Prop Bets Worth Your Time
1. Ryan O’Hearn Over 0.5 Hits (-240): With a .301 average, this is about as risky as betting the sun will rise. Take the Over.
2. Junior Caminero Over 0.5 Home Runs (-250): He’s hit 20 HRs already. This is a gimme—like betting your grandma will survive another Tuesday.
3. Gunnar Henderson Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120): The kid’s got legs, but 1.5 TB? Let’s see him avoid the bases entirely.
Prediction
The Rays win 5-3. Here’s why:
- The Orioles’ pitching will look like a sieve at a cheese factory.
- Caminero will hit a HR, because destiny.
- O’Hearn will get a hit, because he’s the only guy who ever does.
Final Score: Rays 5, Orioles 3. Take the Under on total bases (9.5, -110) because neither team wants to waste energy on offense.
And if you see a prop for “O’Hearn steals a base,” run. Fast. 🦉⚾
