The latest betting data reveals that the Orioles are favored with moneyline odds of -120, maintaining their position from the opening odds. This indicates a solid confidence among bettors in Baltimore's ability to secure a victory. Conversely, the Padres are positioned as underdogs with moneyline odds of +102, unchanged from their initial assessment, suggesting a tight contest is anticipated.


In terms of total runs for this matchup, the over/under is set at 9 runs. The odds for betting over have slightly increased to -115 from an opening of -122, reflecting an expectation for a high-scoring game. On the other hand, betting under now stands at -105, down from an opening line of +100. This shift suggests a slight adjustment in expectations towards fewer runs than initially predicted.
