Mets vs Orioles Model Projection

Score Projection: Mets 6 – Orioles 5

Win Probability: Mets 52%, Orioles 48%

Final Thoughts

My model shows that the Mets are set to win this game in Baltimore. Their starting pitching and relief pitching are both superior than that of the Orioles. I expect a strong start from Holmes once again and for New York’s National League team to put an end to the three-game winning streak of the Orioles in a game that goes over the total.
