Astros vs. Orioles Best bets: Odds, predictions, recent stats, and trends for August 24

It’s Saturday, August 24, and the Houston Astros (69-59) and Baltimore Orioles (75-55) continue their weekend series at Camden Yards.

Last night, the O’s evened the 4-game set at a game apiece rallying for 5 runs in the 8th to come from behind and knock off the Astros 7-5. Anthony Santander provided the big bat with a grand slam in that 8th inning.

The win allowed Baltimore to keep pace with the Yankees and remain 1½ games behind the Bronx Bombers in the American League East. Seattle lost and so Houston remains 5 games up in the AL West.
