Picks, Prediction for Orioles vs Brewers on Tuesday, June 6
Interconference Foes Chasing Divisional Leads
The Baltimore Orioles (37-22) visit Wisconsin to take on the Milwaukee Brewers (32-28). The Orioles are searching for consistency, going 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Brewers come off a 3-1 series win against the Cincinnati Reds but fell out of first place in the National League Central. Both teams hope to stack a winning streak as they chase the top spot in their divisions. MLB odds have the Brew Crew as favorites to win the three-game series.
Orioles Looking to Launch Homers
Baltimore has been a guessing game in its last six games. It scored eight runs in three of six games but averaged only one run over the other three contests. Milwaukee allowed only 3.3 runs in its last six games. One of the Brewers’ weaknesses is allowing home runs, ranking 25th in the category. The Orioles have several sluggers capable of posting homers for your MLB picks and parlays, like first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (11 home runs) and catcher Adley Rutschman (eight).

Brewers’ Bats Pull Favorable Matchup
Milwaukee’s bats woke up against the Reds, averaging 6.7 runs over a three-game span. For comparison, the Brewers rank 25th with 4.02 runs per game. However, the batting order struggled once again on Monday in the 2-0 loss in Cincinnati. Milwaukee was held to one hit through six innings and finished with only three. The Orioles are 25th in allowed hits per game. The over could be a reliable bet against Baltimore.
Starting Pitchers
Kyle Gibson (7-3, 3.89 ERA) vs Freddy Peralta (5-5, 4.62)
After signing a one-year, $10 million contract in the offseason, Kyle Gibson has pitched well for the Orioles. His 3.89 ERA is miles better than last season’s mark of 5.05. However, Gibson’s strikeout-to-walk ratio (SO/W) has lacked at 1.6 over his last four starts. The Brewers rank 11th in walks per game. The over for Gibson’s walk total is a sound online gambling choice.
Freddy Peralta’s play has steadily dropped since his sole All-Star appearance in 2021. He has a 1.409 WHIP, the second-worst mark of his six-year career. Peralta’s 2.44 SO/W would be his worst mark over the last five seasons. He has also allowed six home runs in his last four starts. Take one of Baltimore’s hitters to go yard early in MLB live betting.

Orioles vs Brewers Betting Lines
Over/Under Pick
MLB lines have the projected total at 8½. Baltimore’s Gibson tends to walk batters, and Milwaukee leads the MLB with the fewest runners left in scoring position. Baltimore’s sluggers also pull a favorable matchup against Peralta.
