Milwaukee Brewers vs Baltimore Orioles Predictions: Dustin May vs Cade Povich

Game time: September 18, 2026 at 7:05 PM ET

Article updated Sep 18, 6:30 AM EDT

By SportsJaw Editorial Team

Dustin May is Milwaukee's probable starter for Friday's game. Baltimore remains TBD on MLB.com's listing.

Milwaukee brings the stronger season profile

The Milwaukee Brewers visit the Baltimore Orioles on September 18, 2026, with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EDT. MLB.com and Covers identify the same 2026 MLB matchup.

Covers lists Milwaukee at 95-58 overall and 43-32 on the road. The Brewers average 5.18 runs scored and 3.89 allowed per game, compared with Baltimore's 4.50 scored and 4.67 allowed. Those season figures favor Milwaukee, but they do not establish whether its SportsJaw moneyline price of -141 offers value against Baltimore at +116.

Baltimore supplies some counterevidence through recent results: the Orioles have won six of their past 10 games, including three consecutive victories at the Mets from September 14-16. That stretch deserves consideration alongside Milwaukee's stronger full-season numbers.

The pitching comparison remains incomplete

MLB.com lists right-hander Dustin May as Milwaukee's probable starter, with a 7-9 record, 4.49 ERA and 133 strikeouts. Probable assignments remain subject to change. Baltimore's starter is listed as TBD.

Cade Povich's appearance in a Covers statistical module does not settle the assignment. The displayed starts date to August and September 2025, so they cannot establish his current form or his role in this game.

Covers also lists Baltimore second baseman Jackson Holliday on the 10-day injured list with left-wrist inflammation. Milwaukee relievers Grant Anderson and Bryse Wilson are on the 15-day injured list. Those absences provide context, but the available information does not establish either bullpen's workload or availability for Friday.

Betting decision

Pass. Milwaukee's season advantage supports consideration, but the unresolved Baltimore starter prevents a sufficiently grounded pitching comparison at -141. It does not prove the Brewers are overpriced.

The total also remains a pass: SportsJaw lists over 8.5 (-110) and under 8.5 (-110). Season scoring averages alone do not establish an edge in either direction with this pitching uncertainty. No winner or score projection is warranted.
