- Teams: Athletics vs. Baltimore Orioles
- Venue: Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD
- Date: Sunday, August 10, 2025

The Athletics Can Win If…
The Athletics come off an 11-3 win against the Orioles. Shea Langeliers led the way with a home run and three RBIs. Brent Rooker also added a home run and four RBIs, showcasing the team’s offensive strength.
In the 2025 season, the Athletics rank 5th in batting average at .254. They also hold a 5th place rank in slugging percentage at .433. Their ability to hit home runs, with 163 this season, makes them a threat in any game.
Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers are key players for the Athletics. Kurtz has a batting average of .309 with 23 home runs. Langeliers matches him with 23 home runs, providing a strong lineup presence.
The Orioles Can Win If…
The Baltimore Orioles are looking to bounce back after their recent 11-3 loss to the Athletics. Gunnar Henderson was a bright spot, hitting a home run and driving in three runs. Despite the loss, the Orioles have shown they can win, as seen in their 3-2 victory over the Athletics the day before.
The Orioles have some strong stats that can help them win this game. They rank 9th in home runs with 143 this season, showing their power potential. With key hitters like Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday, who both have 14 home runs, the Orioles have the ability to score big.
Pitching will be crucial for the Orioles, and Cade Povich will be on the mound. While Povich has a 5.25 ERA, he has the potential to deliver a quality start. The Orioles will rely on their offense and Povich’s performance to secure a win against the Athletics.
The Lean
The Orioles are favored on the moneyline at -131, and they have a slight edge in both hitting and pitching stats. The Athletics have a moneyline of +110, but their pitching ranks lower in earned run average and batting average against. My model projects the Orioles to win with a score of 5-4. Therefore, I recommend taking the Orioles on the moneyline.
The total for the game is set at 9.0 runs, with the over at -120 and the under at -101. Both teams have shown they can score, but their pitching struggles suggest a higher-scoring game. My model projects a total of 9 runs. Given these factors, I recommend betting on the over for this game.

A Glimpse of the Future: Rebuilding Athletics and Orioles Clash in Rubber Match
It is a game that is squarely focused on the future. As the Oakland Athletics and host Baltimore Orioles prepare to play the rubber match of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon, both clubs are in the midst of full-scale rebuilds. The final months of the 2025 season are not about a playoff push, but about evaluation, development, and discovering which young players will be a part of their next contending team. Sunday’s game is another crucial opportunity for these young players to make their case, but it comes with a major, unexpected blow for an Athletics team that was just starting to find its groove.
The Severino Setback
The Oakland Athletics have been playing their best baseball of the season on their current East Coast road trip, but they were dealt a devastating blow on Saturday. Their ace and veteran leader, Luis Severino, was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain. The injury could not have come at a worse time for the right-hander, who was in the middle of his best stretch of the season, having won four consecutive starts with a dominant 2.65 ERA. He was finally looking like the two-time All-Star he was with the Yankees. His absence leaves a massive hole at the top of the Oakland rotation and puts more pressure on their young, inexperienced arms.
“Results extend from the starting pitching,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay has said. “It all starts with starting pitching.” Now, they will have to navigate the rest of this series and beyond without their most reliable starter.
The table below provides a snapshot of two teams that, while at the bottom of their respective divisions, are focused on developing their young talent for the future. For a full recap of their most recent games, you can check the official MLB game results.
| Team | Record | Division Standing | Runs Per Game | Team ERA |
| Oakland Athletics | 48-84 | 5th in AL West | 4.1 | 5.10 |
| Baltimore Orioles | 53-79 | 5th in AL East | 4.2 | 5.05 |
An Audition in Baltimore
The Orioles are in a similar position, having executed a massive sell-off at the trade deadline that saw them part with several veteran players. The result is a young, unproven lineup that is getting a crash course in major league baseball. The offensive struggles have been pronounced; in the first two games of this series, they have just seven total hits. The pressure to produce has fallen squarely on the shoulders of the few remaining established players at the top of the order.
“There’s a lot of pressure on those top five guys to create something,” said interim manager Tony Mansolino. “With where the roster is at and where the lineup is at… they’re going to live up to it and they’re going to have better nights. A lot of the guys who are here now started in Triple-A, so they weren’t in the big leagues because they had things to work on, and now they get thrust into the big leagues.” How a young, rebuilding team handles the pressures of the final months of the season is a key topic in our expert betting guide.
The Pitching Matchup: A Deeper Look
Sunday’s game features a pitching matchup between two young arms trying to find their way. In the wake of the Severino injury, the Athletics will give the ball to rookie right-hander Luis Morales (0-0, 4.50) for his second career big-league appearance. The Orioles will counter with lefty Cade Povich (2-6, 5.25), who is coming off a rough outing in Philadelphia and has a disastrous history against the A’s.
| Pitcher | W-L (2025) | ERA (2025) | Career vs. Opponent |
| Luis Morales (OAK) | 0-0 | 4.50 | First Appearance |
| Cade Povich (BAL) | 2-6 | 5.25 | 0-1, 72.00 ERA (1 game) |
