Orioles vs. Diamondbacks Best Prop Bet

Corbin Carroll has been red-hot this season. He has already recorded six RBIs while batting .279 and hitting three home runs. Tonight, he and the Diamondbacks get to face Charlie Morton, who has struggled this season with a 9.72 ERA. Let's see if he can get another RBI tonight.

Orioles vs. Diamondbacks Prediction and Pick

Based on how both pitchers have begun their 2025 campaigns, you're probably tempted to take the OVER. Let me try to convince you to do the opposite. With the total set all the way up at 9.5, I think the smarter move would be to zig instead of zag and bet on positive regression.

Charlie Morton and Merrill Kelly are both solid veterans who have been in the Majors for several years. I'd be beyond shocked if they continue to post the numbers they have through their first two starts. They're both going to turn things around, and tonight is a great opportunity to do so.

The total tonight is an overreaction to a small sample size to start the year. I'll back the UNDER.

Pick: UNDER 9.5 (-108) via DraftKings
