Blue Jays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 5

Moneyline

As a road underdog the Blue Jays post a 37.8% win rate (14-23). Plus, the Orioles appear to have ended their slump right before the All Star break, and look closer to their old selves. But at the current odds it is best to PASS and look to the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

As a home favorite, Baltimore fails to cover more often than not. They are 24-27 in these situations. And, on the road, Toronto is 33-21 (61.1%) against the spread, the highest hit rate in the AL.

BET BLUE JAYS +1.5 (-105).

Over/Under

As an underdog the Blue Jays are 33-20-2 (62.3%) to the Over. On top of that the Orioles are 49-29-8 (62.8%) as a favorite. Tuesday’s game broke a 7-game Over streak for Toronto and an 8-game Over streak for Baltimore, I expect both teams to come out swinging.

LEAN OVER 9 (-120).

The Toronto Blue Jays (50-57) and Baltimore Orioles (63-44) tangle Tuesday as they continue a 4-game AL East series in Charm City. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 4-4

Toronto downed the Orioles 8-4 in the nightcap of a Monday twin bill (Baltimore won the opener 11-5). Over their last 5 games, the Blue Jays have scored 6.60 runs per contest while notching a robust .922 OPS.

Baltimore pitching continues to have mid-summer struggles at home. Since June 29, the Orioles are 4-9 alongside the B&O Warehouse. Over that stretch, Baltimore has registered a 5.85 ERA.

Blue Jays at Orioles projected starters

RHP Chris Bassitt vs. RHP Corbin Burnes

Bassitt (8-9, 3.78 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 in 119 IP.

• Last outing: Loss, 5 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 13-0 loss vs. Tampa Bay Rays Thursday

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.

The Toronto Blue Jays (48-56) and Baltimore Orioles (61-43) meet Monday as they swing into a 4-game series, beginning  with a twin bill at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The opening contest is set for a 3:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 3-3

Toronto is 5-4 in the 2nd half and is on the road for the 1st time since July 14. The Blue Jays arrive in Baltimore with a 3-game win streak in tow after sweeping the Texas Rangers over the weekend. Toronto clocked a high-contact .957 OPS over that trio of wins.

The AL East-leading Orioles have been on a slide. Baltimore is 2-5 over its last 7 games and 5-10 since July 9. Across their last 9 games at Camden Yards, the Orioles have a 2-7 record while posting a 5.67 ERA.

Blue Jays at Orioles projected starters

RHP Yariel Rodriguez vs. RHP Zach Eflin

Rodriguez (1-3, 3.60 ERA) is making his 11th start. He has a 1.25 WHIP, 4.5 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 in 40 IP.

• Last outing: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 6-3 win vs. Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday
• Has made 4 starts since July 1, posting a 2.01 ERA in 22 1/3 IP
• Has never faced the Orioles

Eflin (5-7, 4.09 ERA) makes his 20th start. He owns a 1.16 WHIP, 1.1 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 in 110 IP.

• Last outing: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 4 K in 6-3 loss at Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday
• Career vs. Blue Jays: 2-3, 5.90 ERA (39 2/3 IP, 26 ER), 50 H, 9 BB, 32 K in 5 starts
• Making 1st start for Baltimore after being acquired from the Rays on Friday. Coincidentally, his last start with Tampa was against  Toronto

Blue Jays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 4

Moneyline

Toronto is 6-13 across its last 19 games against the Orioles.

In scoring 4.06 runs per game while allowing 4.75 RPG, the Blue Jays have likely been a bit fortunate to post a .467 win percentage to date. Rodriguez has gotten by with a .267 batting average on balls in play and is a bounce candidate.

In multiple parks over his career, Eflin has posted solid numbers at home. Over his 9-year career, he’s allowed a .796 OPS on the road but has held opposing bats to a .686 mark in games at home.

Since June 3 Toronto has played in 15 series. They have dropped 13 series lid-lifters over that stretch.

The price on the O’s makes for a high hurdle, but there is value on BALTIMORE (-190).

Run line/Against the spread

Four of 6 series meetings this season have been decided by 1 run, and the Jays have trended toward a lot of close games of late. But some bettors may want to avoid the ML price tag and back BALTIMORE -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under

The Over has cashed in 5 straight Toronto games and in 7 of its last 8 contests on the road. And the Over is 6-for-6 in Baltimore’s last half-dozen games.

It’s just a slight lean here, but the Over is 3-1 across the last 4 Toronto-Baltimore games, and on a warm day with an outward breeze in the forecast and 2 fly-ball pitchers starting, the OVER 9 (-105) is the value play.

The Toronto Blue Jays (19-22) and Baltimore Orioles (26-14) meet at Oriole Park at Camden Yards Tuesday as they play the 2nd game of a 3-game series. First pitch is scheduled for a 6:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Blue Jays lead 1-0

Toronto took Monday’s series opener 3-2 in 10 innings. The solid Blue Jays pitching was a welcome sight for Toronto fans; the Jays had logged a 5.65 ERA over their previous 9 games.

Monday’s loss marked the 2nd in a row for Baltimore, and both setbacks have been in low-scoring fashion. A batting attack ranked 5th in MLB with 5 runs per game (powered by a robust .438 slugging percentage) has cooled of late. The Orioles have posted a .mere .690 OPS over their last 12 games.

Blue Jays at Orioles projected starters

RHP Chris Bassitt vs. RHP Kyle Bradish

Bassitt (3-5, 5.06 ERA) is making his 9th start. He has notched a 1.55 WHIP, 4.2 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 42 2/3 innings.

• Last outing: Win, 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 5-3 win at Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday
• Career vs. Orioles: 3-2, 4.79 ERA (35 2/3 IP, 19 ER), 38 H, 10 BB, 39 K in 6 starts
• Owns a 6.20 ERA over his last 4 starts

Bradish (0-0, 1.86 ERA) makes his 3rd start after missing all of April with an elbow injury. He has a 1.24 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 13.0 K/9 in 9 2/3 innings.

• Last outing: No-decision, 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 9 K in 7-6 win at Washington Nationals Wednesday
• Career vs. Blue Jays: 1-3, 5.25 ERA (36 IP, 21 ER), 40 H, 11 BB, 26 K in 7 starts

Blue Jays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 4

Moneyline

There is some overall fade to Toronto despite the club’s sub-.500 record, and the Orioles (-165) have not lost 2 in a row since April 12-13.

But Bassitt, who has been somewhat undone by a .333 batting average on balls in play, is likely being undervalued by bettors. Baltimore is worthy of a significant lean but not the current outright tag: PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

This match-up has an Over lean, and that’s the strongest play in the game. But figure ORIOLES -1.5 (+125) as being worthy of a look, perhaps on a partial-unit basis.

Over/Under

An outward breeze is expected at Camden Yards, and the Blue Jays bullpen has been tagged with a lot of hard contact en route to clocking a hefty 5.04 ERA so far. Both rosters have solid match-up numbers against the starting moundsmen (Toronto .865 OPS vs. Bradish and Baltimore 1.036 OPS vs. Bassitt, per ESPN).

BACK THE OVER 8 (-115).

The Toronto Blue Jays (18-22) and Baltimore Orioles (26-13) open a 3-game series Monday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ET (MLB.TV Free Game of the Day). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting of 2024; Orioles won 10 of 13 games in 2023

Toronto is back on the road after an abbreviated 3-game weekend homestand against the Minnesota Twins. The Twins took 2 of 3 from the Blue Jays, who are now just 5-12 since April 23.

Baltimore lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday but is 7-2 with a 2.44 ERA over its last 9 games. The Orioles head into the middle week of May with the best record in the American League.

Blue Jays at Orioles projected starters

RHP Jose Berrios vs. RHP Corbin Burnes

Berrios (4-3, 2.85 ERA) is lined up for his 9th start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 in 47 1/3 innings.

• Last outing: Loss, 3 2/3 IP, 8 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 7 K in 10-1 loss at Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday
• Career vs. Orioles: 10-1, 2.98 ERA (90 2/3 IP, 30 ER), 82 H, 17 BB, 76 K in 14 starts, including 1-1 with a 3.29 ERA (13 2/3 IP, 5 ER) in 2 starts last season

Burnes (3-2, 2.83 ERA) is making his 9th start. He has a 0.97 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 in 47 2/3 innings.

• Last outing: Loss, 6 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 6 K in 3-0 loss at Washington Nationals Tuesday
• Career vs. Blue Jays: 1-0, 3.52 ERA (7 2/3 IP, 3 ER), 5 H, 2 BB, 9 K in 1 start, a 5-4 home victory with Milwaukee Brewers June 25, 2022

Blue Jays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Blue Jays 4

Moneyline

BALTIMORE (-175) is 6-2 over its last 8 games against Toronto. In last year’s season series, the Orioles were a plus-35 in run differential.

Toronto has averaged just 3.68 runs per game while allowing 4.85, and a compelling case can be made that the Blue Jays have been fortunate to thus far log a .450 winning percentage.

Both starters have been a bit fortunate with batting averages on balls in play. Both have expected ERA figures over that of their surface numbers, but Berrios is likely much further from his settling point.

His BABIP in inning lead-off situations is .206; with runners in scoring position, his BABIP is .111. On the road, Berrios has registered a 4.96 ERA since 2022 (vs. 3.48 at home).

Burnes owns a 2.51 ERA at home this season. He gets more ground balls than Berrios, and they could prove as a big key with a weather report calling for a double-digit outward-blowing breeze.

BET THE ORIOLES (-175).

Run line/Against the spread

An Orioles -1.5 price of +130 or better would make for value here. Otherwise, PASS.

Over/Under

Toronto’s last road trip was comprised of 5 games, and the Over went 4-1.

The batter’s breeze, fade of the starters and Toronto bullpen (a bottom-5 unit) play into a solid Over lean in this one.

It looks like the pitching surface lines are getting too much credit here. There is value on the OVER 8 (-105).

Blue Jays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 3, Orioles 2

Moneyline

Gausman should bounce back after one of his worst performances of the season last time out. The former Oriole is averaging just 0.5 earned runs per game this season after allowing 4 or more earned runs in his previous start. Gausman should keep this game low-scoring and set the Blue Jays up to finally hand Flaherty his 1st career loss vs. Toronto.

BET BLUE JAYS (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

The Orioles are 11-5 on the run line this season as home underdogs, according to TeamRankings.com. Baltimore will likely hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when Toronto ML is the better play.

PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

Gausman has proven this season that he is capable of bouncing back after bad performances, and Flaherty has looked good vs. Toronto in 2 career starts.

The Under is 21-16 (56.8%) this season when the Blue Jays are road favorites and should hit again Wednesday with Toronto’s best starter on the mound.

BET UNDER 8 (+100).

Blue Jays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 5

Moneyline

Baltimore has owned Toronto this season and should continue its dominance Tuesday, especially after outscoring Oakland 28-7 over the weekend.

Toronto is just 11-23 vs. AL East opponents this year and has lost 4 of the last 5 meetings vs. Baltimore.

BET ORIOLES (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

Four of the Blue Jays’ last 6 losses have been by just 1 run. Toronto +1.5 (-200) will likely hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when Baltimore ML is the better play.

PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

Baltimore’s offense was impressive in its most recent series, scoring 7 or more runs in each game. The Over has hit in 3 straight contests for the Orioles and is 11-5-1 (68.8%) this season when Baltimore is coming off 1 day of rest, according to TeamRankings.com.

BET OVER 8.5 (-105).
