The Baltimore Orioles and Miami Marlins wrap up a three-game set at loanDepot Park on Thursday, May 7, and the Fish will be looking to avoid being swept with righty Max Meyer toeing the rubber.

My top Orioles vs. Marlins predictions and MLB picks expect Meyer to keep his strong start to the season going in winning fashion tonight.

Who will win Orioles vs Marlins today: Marlins moneyline (-120)

Miami Marlins starter Max Meyer has surrendered three runs or fewer in all seven starts while holding opposing hitters to a pedestrian .255 wOBA and .551 OPS.

So, with Baltimore Orioles lefty Cade Povich sporting a career 5.14 ERA and 4.84 xERA across 208 1/3 innings, I give the Fish a huge pitching edge.

Povich has also surrendered meaty 46.1% squared-up contact and 18.4% blast contact rates in 2026.

Finally, Miami relievers rank seventh with a 3.45 ERA while Baltimore enters with a 25th-ranked 4.82 mark.

Orioles vs Marlins Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (-102)

I’m expecting Meyer to hold the Orange Birds in check before giving way to a rested bullpen that only turned to Dax Fulton for four innings Wednesday.

Additionally, neither team is clicking at the dish, with Miami ranking 21st in wOBA over the past week, and Baltimore checking in 23rd in the metric.

Of course, we could see regulars resting in the series finale.

He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
