  • Baltimore's preseason win total (90.5) marks its highest over/under since 1998.
  • The Orioles won 101 games and claimed the No. 1 seed in the AL last year.

In a year where a pair of unexpected teams made the World Series, the Baltimore Orioles were one of the biggest surprises after claiming the No. 1 seed in the American League and winning a competitive AL East crown with a 101-61 record.

Baltimore’s 2023 campaign ended abruptly with a 3-0 loss to the Texas Rangers in the ALDS.

But the Orioles’ promising young roster added some premier pitching to help improve their MLB odds in 2024.

Orioles Futures Odds

Win Total: 90.5
AL East: +180
AL Pennant: +550
World Series: +1300

Baltimore came out of nowhere last year thanks to its full arsenal of young standouts who exceeded expectations. The Orioles entered 2023 +6600 to win the World Series, +3000 to clinch the AL pennant, +2500 to claim the AL East, and a win total of 77.5.

The Orioles haven’t had an MLB futures win total this high since their 91.5 preseason mark in 1998. That is also the last time their MLB betting odds traded this short to win the AL at +400. 

For what it’s worth, Baltimore finished 79-83 and fourth in the AL East in 1998.

Orioles Offseason Moves

Fresh off its first 100-win season since 1980, Baltimore set out to make pitching additions this offseason to help support a lineup featuring multiple future stars.

The Orioles landed their ace when they acquired Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers for a reasonable trade package that included Joey Ortiz and DL Hall. Such is life for a team with the luxury of Baltimore’s potent farm system.

Burnes, 29, has been one of the best pitchers in baseball over the last few years. He won the NL Cy Young in 2021, recording 200-plus strikeouts in three straight seasons. He is the frontline starter that Baltimore desperately needed to make a deep playoff run.

Kimbrel, who is eighth all-time with 417 career saves, will anchor the back end of Baltimore’s bullpen.

Orioles 2024 Betting Prediction

Prediction: Orioles last team to lose a regular-season game (+750)

After last year’s early playoff exit, the Orioles could hit the ground running to begin the 2024 season. They start with a pair of three-game sets at home against the Los Angeles Angels and Kansas City Royals before traveling to face the Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox.

Baltimore might not face a potential playoff team until April 15, when it hosts the Minnesota Twins for a three-game series.

As a result, the Orioles are the betting favorites to be the last MLB team to lose a regular-season game. But the +750 price is juicy enough to take advantage of, considering the favorable schedule.

After that, consider waiting for better value on Baltimore’s futures odds if the team struggles at any point during the season.
