Truist Park will host Game 2 between the Atlanta Braves (39-48) and the Baltimore Orioles (38-49). The Orioles won the series opener 3-2. The forecast for the game is partly cloudy, with temperatures soaring to 91°F along with 8 mph winds blowing in.

The Orioles will send Dean Kremer (7-7, 4.27 ERA) to the mound. The right-hander has been prone to being on the wrong end of a long ball and the Braves have many sluggers to make him pay if he leaves the ball up.

Meanwhile, the Braves will have Aaron Bummer (1-1, 2.86) on the hill. Typically used in relief, Bummer gets the start here and will likely go just a few innings.

Braves vs. Orioles: Game 2 prediction & pick

Prediction: Braves 6, Orioles 5

This game has the feel of a high-scoring battle, particularly with the Orioles' pitching depth being tested and Atlanta’s bullpen expected to carry a heavy load. Baltimore has the edge in lineup consistency, but Atlanta’s home-field advantage could carry them late.

Best Bets:

Over 10 Runs (-105)

Braves ML (-125)

Prop Watch: Ronald Acuna Jr. to steal a base.
