Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions
Prediction
Orioles 6, Blue Jays 5
Moneyline
It’s hard to trust Ryu coming off Tommy John Surgery and back-to-back poor seasons. However, Bradish also hasn’t been great on the road this year.
I don’t love either side in this game, but at least Baltimore has looked better than Toronto over the last few games.
LEAN ORIOLES (-105).
Run line/Against the spread
The Blue Jays should be able to keep this game close coming off back-to-back losses. While I do believe Toronto +1.5 (-190) will hit, there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line.
PASS. Bet Baltimore ML and/or the total instead.

Over/Under
Ryu started the 2022 season by allowing 5 or more earned runs in back-to-back starts. We may see something similar Tuesday from the Blue Jays lefty, who hasn’t started a game since June 2022.
Bradish has been inconsistent on the road this season and gave up 5 earned runs last time out.
BET OVER 8.5 (-115).
