The Baltimore Orioles (38-20) and Toronto Blue Jays (28-31) play the 2nd contest of a 4-game series at Rogers Centre on Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Blue Jays odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Baltimore leads 2-1
The Orioles took a 2-0 lead in the top of the 2nd inning in Monday’s series opener, and Baltimore ended up leading wire-to-wire with a 7-2 victory to cash as the road favorite (-116) with the Over (7.5) cashing.
Baltimore has picked up victories in 9 of the past 11 games, including 5 consecutive road wins. The Over is 7-3-2 in the previous 13 outings.
For the Blue Jays, they’ve dropped 2 of the past 3 games, while cashing the Over in 3 straight outings. Toronto pitching has coughed up 19 runs in the span, or 6.34 runs per game.
Tuesday was supposed to be RHP Alek Manoah‘s turn in the rotation, but he suffered an elbow injury last time out, and it’s uncertain when he’ll be able to return. Two other candidates, Bowden Francis and Yariel Rodriguez, are also on the injured list.

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions
Prediction
Orioles 7, Blue Jays 3
Moneyline
The ORIOLES (-168) are a solid play for the conservative bettor. Burnes has pitched well this season, and he is decent on the road. He has turned in 7 consecutive quality starts, and he had a 2.17 ERA across 37 1/3 IP in 6 starts in May.
Burnes has not surrendered a home run in the past 5 starts across 31 1/3 IP, and it doesn’t really matter who the Blue Jays (+142) roll out there, the pitching advantage is squarely in Baltimore’s favor.
Run line/Against the spread
The ORIOLES -1.5 (+106) are a decent play if you’re a little more on the adventurous side. At plus-money, Baltimore is a strong play, as the Blue Jays +1.5 (-113) likely will have a band-aid pitcher to start with a bullpen game. That’s bad news against a Baltimore pitcher on a roll.
Over/Under
OVER 8.5 (+100) is a good play at even-money, even with Burnes tossing up plenty of donuts. Look for the Orioles offense to do plenty of heavy lifting to get across the finish line.
The Over cashed in Monday’s series opener, and it’s a good bet again on Tuesday.
