Blue Jays at Orioles picks and predictions
Prediction
Orioles 6, Blue Jays 4
Moneyline
Current Baltimore bats own an aggregate 1.083 OPS against Bassitt, per ESPN. With the way Burnes has pitched against Toronto this season and the way he’s pitched at Camden, the Orioles are a slight lean here. But so is a higher-than-projected total score.
So, PASS on the ML and look to get the home nine by with a cushion.
Run line/Against the spread
Figure Toronto’s recent surge with the bats as being accompanied by some fortunate rates around the margins. Over the last week, the Blue Jays have gotten by with a .318 batting average on balls in play.
Burnes gets a lot of ground balls, and Toronto scuffles against ground-ball pitchers. Look for the Orioles to get out in front and file a win by 2-plus in this Tuesday battle of the birds.
FanDuel Sportsbook has a better leverage tag here. BACK BALTIMORE -1.5 (+104).
Over/Under
The Over has cashed in 7 straight Toronto games and in 9 of its last 10 contests on the road. And the Over is 8-for-8 in Baltimore’s last 8 games.
The Over is 5-1 across the last 4 Toronto-Baltimore games. Rain is in the weather forecast, but so is some heat, humidity and an outward breeze. With the expected-ERA numbers for both starters being higher than their surface numbers, the OVER 8.5 (-110) is the value play.
