Brewers vs. Orioles Prediction, Winner, Over/Under – Sunday, September 20

One week remains in the MLB regular season, meaning the playoff picture is shaping up. 

With the top record in baseball, the Brewers already clinched the NL Central and are 2.0 games ahead of the Dodgers for the #1 seed in the National League. Meanwhile, the Orioles are on their last breath with a 4.0-game deficit behind the White Sox (79-76) for the final Wild Card spot in the American League.

According to PrizePicks, Milwaukee is firmly among contenders with the second-shortest payout to win the World Series (5x). Baltimore will likely be sitting on the couch in October, featuring a 33.33x payout to qualify for the playoffs. 

With that said, every game is a must-win for these clubs. The Brew Crew would like to solidify home-field advantage with the #1 seed, while the O’s are simply seeking a spot in the postseason.

Milwaukee had its way in the first two games of this series, taking Game 1 6-5, followed by a 1-0 dub on Saturday. Baltimore has its tallest task yet, as Brewers SP Jacob Misiorowski (1.89 ERA, 2.08 xERA in 28 GS) will start and carries the shortest payout to win the NL Cy Young Award (1.01x).

For the Orioles, SP Brandon Young (3.65 ERA, 4.42 ERA in 26 GS) will toe the rubber on Sunday Night Baseball.

With Miz taking the ball tonight, Milwaukee has a 1.78x payout to cover the -1.5 run line, ahead of the O’s 1.96x payout to cover the spread. 

In Misiorowski’s last 11 starts, the Brew Crew are 10-1, with an average margin of +2.9 runs per game in the split. Further, Milwaukee won six of 11 games by at least 2 runs — including three of the last four.

Baltimore has failed to surpass 3 runs in four of its last seven contests. Throughout the 2026 season, the Orioles have mainly leaned on free passes and going yard, featuring a 9.7% walk rate (fourth) and 3.2% home run rate (10th). 

According to FanGraphs, Miz allows 0.76 HR/9 and an 11.1% home run-to-fly ball ratio (HR/FB) that are under the 1.17 and 11.6% league averages. Further, he’s given up only 1 big fly over his last six starts.

Baseball Savant also credits Misiorowski with a 6.6% walk rate (88th percentile), and he’s backed by a bullpen that sports a 3.55 xERA (second).

On the flip side, Orioles SP Brandon Young has a 5.87 ERA over three starts in September. He’s conceded multiple earned runs in four of his previous six appearances.

Opponents average a .255 xBA (27th percentile) vs. Young. The Brewers consistently make contact with a .258 batting average (second) and .248 xBA (fifth).
