Team Analysis
Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles’ 1-4 mark over their last 5 games and 2-8 over their last 10 underlines a team struggling to sustain momentum. Road results have been uneven, with limited offensive payoff despite occasional production spikes. Gunnar Henderson has been one of the few consistent contributors, but overall rhythm has been absent when games tighten late.
Jackson Holliday’s presence adds power potential, yet Baltimore Orioles’ offense has lacked balance, particularly on the road. With Jordan Westburg sidelined, lineup depth is thinner, and the team’s inability to string together wins reflects that. The Orioles’ current slump makes them vulnerable against a Giants offense that has been surging.

San Francisco Giants
The Giants’ 4-1 record in their last 5 games, paired with 7.4 runs per outing, reflects a team gaining offensive traction at the right time. Home form has been steady at 34-34, and the lineup has been carrying the load with consistent run production. Rafael Devers’ power presence has been central to their push, giving matchup leverage against Baltimore Orioles’ weaker pitching.
Willy Adames has added reliable run production, while Heliot Ramos has chipped in timely offense to keep pressure on opposing staffs. With 6-4 over their last 10, San Francisco has maintained both scoring consistency and resilience at home. The combination of form and lineup depth positions the Giants as the clear stronger side in this interleague meeting.

Moneyline Betting Prediction
San Francisco Giants’ recent 4-1 form with nearly 7.5 runs per game and balanced home performance gives them a decisive edge over a Baltimore team that has dropped eight of its last ten. With Devers anchoring a productive order and the Orioles struggling on the road, the Giants are the superior moneyline side with sustained offensive pressure and better situational metrics.
Form and matchup edges favor the San Francisco Giants — back them.
