The surprising Baltimore Orioles (21-10) get a chance to prove their mettle Friday night when they take on the Atlanta Braves (22-10) as part of a 15-game MLB schedule. After losing more than 100 games in 2019 and 2021, the Orioles barely topped .500 last season. Now they have the third most victories in MLB, behind the Braves and Tampa Bay Rays (26-6). They start a three-game series Friday night at 7:20 p.m. ET in Atlanta. The Padres vs. Dodgers rivalry also gets rolling again as part of Friday night's slate, as San Diego hosts Los Angeles in the first of six meetings over the next 10 days.

The Braves are -210 favorites (risk $210 to win $100) in Orioles vs. Braves, while Baltimore is priced at +175 (risk $100 to win $175) in the latest MLB odds from Caesars Sportsbook. The over/under for total runs scored is 8.5. (See up-to-date lines for every game on our MLB odds page.)
