Minnesota Twins vs Baltimore Orioles Game 1 Pick – 5/14/2025

On Wednesday, May 14, the Minnesota Twins and Baltimore Orioles will begin a doubleheader with a matinee at Camden Yards. This game carries significance for both teams, not just in the standings, but to set up the rest of the day's action. Both teams will look for quality starts from their starting pitchers in this game, as they aim to set their bullpens up for success by not overusing them ahead of Game 2 later in the day. Minnesota will look to extend their winning streak to nine games in a row at the expense of a struggling Orioles squad.

Bailey Ober will get the start for the Twins to open up this doubleheader from Baltimore. Ober is off to a strong start this season, going 4-1 with a respectable 3.50 ERA. His last start came against this same Orioles team back on May 8, where he had to settle for a no decision. Ober pitched five innings in that game, giving up two runs, with only one of those runs being earned. Minnesota ended up winning that game 5-2 and both Ober and the Twins would certainly take a similar outcome in this game.

Baltimore will counter Ober with Dean Kremer on the bump. Kremer is off to a less stellar start to his season, going 3-4 with a 5.24 ERA to this point in the 2025 season. Kremer also got a no decision in that May 8 matchup between the Orioles and Twins in his most recent start. He pitched seven innings, allowing two earned runs, while his offense could not score enough to help his team get the win. Another strong start from Kremer would be great for his confidence and for the health of the Orioles' bullpen heading into Game 2.

If you like aggressive hitting, Twins vs Orioles might be the game for you on Wednesday. Both of these teams are in the bottom five in MLB in walks, as their lineups like to get up there and take their hacks. That could be great news for both of these pitchers, who could get away with pushing some pitches outside of the strike zone and away from dangerous areas over the plate.
