• Hot Trendy News
St. Louis hits Baltimore tonight as the Cardinals vs Orioles series opens a three-game set at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ET (3:35 p.m. PT) with right-hander Erick Fedde (3-3, 3.77 ERA) squaring off against veteran Charlie Morton (0-7, 7.68 ERA).
Hot Cardinals aim for fourth straight win
• St. Louis (30-23) just swept Arizona and has won eight of its last ten to close within two games of the NL Central-leading Cubs.
• Brendan Donovan leads the club with a .328 average, while Lars Nootbaar has supplied the pop with seven homers.
• Manager Oli Marmol will look for Fedde to give length after the bullpen logged 10⅔ innings over the weekend.
Orioles seek momentum at home
• Baltimore (18-34) arrives on a modest two-game win streak after taking a series in Boston but still sits last in the AL East.
• Cedric Mullins paces the lineup with 10 HR and 31 RBI, and Ryan O’Hearn sports a .329 average that ranks fourth in the league.
• Injuries linger: star catcher Adley Rutschman (day-to-day, hamstring) is a game-time decision, while Colton Cowser remains on the 60-day IL.
Series storylines to watch
1. Pitching mismatch? Morton’s 7.68 ERA is the highest among qualified AL starters, while Fedde has quietly posted a 2.85 ERA in May.
2. Small-ball vs slugging: St. Louis ranks 5th in MLB in batting average (.261) but just 16th in home runs, whereas Baltimore lives and dies by the long ball (46.5 % of runs via HR).
3. Camden Yards factor: the ballpark has played neutral in 2025 (park factor 100), but tonight’s forecast calls for a mild 8 mph breeze blowing out to right, potentially boosting left-handed power.
Betting lines & odds
• Moneyline: Cardinals -115 / Orioles -105
• Total: 8.5 runs (Over -120, Under Even)
• Run line: STL -1.5 (+145), BAL +1.5 (-175).
St. Louis has covered in six of its past nine, while Baltimore is 3-7 ATS over its last ten at home.
Projected lineups
Cardinals: Nootbaar LF, Winn SS, Donovan 2B, W. Contreras 1B, Herrera DH, Walker RF, Gorman 3B, Pagés C, Scott II CF
Orioles: Mullins CF, Henderson SS, O’Hearn RF, Santander DH, Mountcastle 1B, Westburg 2B, Urias 3B, Kjerstad LF, McCann C
What’s next
The clubs meet again Tuesday and Wednesday before the Cardinals head to Cleveland and the Orioles welcome the White Sox. With both divisions tightly bunched, every win matters—making tonight’s Cardinals vs Orioles opener a pivotal clash for two squads trying to define their 2025 narratives.
