Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (39-21) and Toronto Blue Jays (29-32) wrap up a 4-game series at Rogers Centre Thursday. First pitch is scheduled for 1:07 p.m. ET (MLB Network). 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: Orioles lead 3-2

The Orioles outscored the Blue Jays 17-3 in the 1st 2 games of this season, but Toronto picked up a 3-2 win Wednesday as a -114 favorites behind RHP Jose Berrios. Despite the loss, the O’s have still won 10 of the past 13 games. The setback Wednesday snapped a 6-0 road win streak.

The Blue Jays picked up just their 2nd win in the past 5 tries, and the Under (8.5) Wednesday snapped a 4-0 run to the Over for Toronto. The Jays entered play on Wednesday with 29 runs allowed in the past 4 outings.

Each of Toronto’s victories this season against Baltimore have been by a 3-2 score, and both outings with Berrios on the hill. The Jays are 0-3 with any other starting pitcher.

  • Last start: No-decision, 3 IP, 6 ER, 4 H, 1 HR, 2 BB, 4 K in 7-6 home win vs. Gwinnett May 31

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Orioles 4

Moneyline

The BLUE JAYS (-118) are a solid play Thursday as they go for the 4-game series split.

Toronto will be facing the top pitching prospect of the Orioles (+100), and the southpaw Povich was tuned up by Atlanta’s farm team last time out for the Tides. He makes the start in place of RHP Kyle Bradish, who has been pushed back to Friday at Tampa Bay.

Kikuchi has had tough luck with offensive support as he has a sub-4 ERA. The southpaw is worth a look against the prospect getting his first taste of the bigs.

Run line/Against the spread

The Blue Jays +1.5 (-184) will set you back nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s quite a bit risky for not much profit.

AVOID and play Toronto straight up instead.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-105) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over has cashed at an 8-4-2 clip in the past 14 games for the Orioles, while the total has gone Over in 4 of the past 5 games for the Blue Jays.

After going Under in 3 straight outings for Kikuchi, the Over has cashed in his past 2 outings.

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (39-20) and Toronto Blue Jays (28-32) play the 3rd contest of a 4-game series at Rogers Centre on Wednesday. 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 3-1

The Orioles jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the 3rd inning and for the 2nd consecutive day posted a wire-to-wire victory, 10-1. The O’s have outscored the Jays 17-3 in the 1st 2 games of the series and 22-8 in their 4 meetings.

Baltimore has won 10 of the past 12 games, including a 6-0 mark in the past 6 road contests. The Over has cashed at an 8-3-2 clip in the past 13 contests.

The Blue Jays have won just once in the past 4 games, and the Over has cashed in each of the outings. Toronto pitching has been hammered for 29 runs in the past 4 contests, which is 7.25 runs per game.

Orioles at Blue Jays projected starters

RHP Albert Suarez vs. RHP Jose Berrios

Suarez (2-0, 1.57 ERA) makes his 6th start and 13th appearance. He has a 0.99 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 34 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 3-1 home win vs. Tampa Bay Rays May 31
  • 2024 road splits: 2-0, 0.57 ERA (15 2/3 IP, 2 R — 1 ER), 0.89 WHIP, .140 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 0 HR, 7 BB, 11 K in 2 starts and 4 relief appearances

Berrios (5-4, 2.78 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 in 74 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 5 K in 5-3 home win in 14 innings vs. Pittsburgh Pirates May 31
  • 2024 home splits: 3-1, 1.60 ERA (33 2/3 IP, 6 ER), 0.92 WHIP, .208 OBA, 2 HR, 6 BB, 27 K in 5 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 3, Orioles 2

Moneyline

The BLUE JAYS (-132) are a good bet behind Berrios, who leads Toronto starters in ERA and innings pitched, and he has the team’s only complete game.

Toronto looks to get its 1st victory of the series after the Orioles (+112) have dominated the 1st 2 games. Suarez is a tough pitcher in his own right, however, and runs figure to be hard to come by for both sides.

Run line/Against the spread

The Orioles +1.5 (-192) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s quite a bit of risk for not enough reward. If you like Baltimore, just play it straight up.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-122) is a solid play in the 3rd game of this series.

The Over cashed in the 1st 2 games, with Baltimore’s offense doing most of the heavy lifting. Suarez and Berrios are likely to post plenty of donuts, as runs should be at a premium with both pitchers sporting an ERA of 2.78 or lower.

The Under is 3-1-1 in Suarez’s 5 starts, while the total has gone low in the past 3 outings by Berrios, and 9 of his past 10 starting assignments.

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

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 projected starters

RHP Corbin Burnes vs. Undecided

Burnes (5-2, 2.35 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.05 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 in 72 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 R (0 ER), 3 H, 3 BB, 5 K in 6-1 home win vs. Boston Red Sox May 29
  • 2024 road splits: 2-1, 3.60 ERA (25 IP, 10 ER), 1.04 WHIP, .194 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 2 HR, 8 BB, 22 K in 4 starts

  • Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: +100 | U: -122)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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.

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (37-20) and Toronto Blue Jays (28-30) open a 4-game series at Rogers Centre on Monday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET (ESPN+). 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: Tied 1-1

The Orioles were tripped up 4-3 in the series finale Sunday at home against the Tampa Bay Rays, but Baltimore won 2 of the 3 games. The O’s have posted 8 wins in the past 10 outings, all as a favorite. The Under went 2-1 in the 3-game set with Tampa, but the Over is 6-3-2 in the past 11 contests.

The Blue Jays picked up a series win against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend, winning 2 of 3 games, while also cashing the Over twice. Toronto has won 5 of the past 6 outings, while the Over has a slight 4-3 edge in the previous 7 games.

These teams met at Camden Yards in Baltimore May 13-15, with 1 game wiped out due to weather. That game will be made up in Maryland July 29. Toronto won 3-2 in the opener as a moderate underdog (+161) as the Under (7.5) cashed, while Baltimore won the series finale 3-2 as a favorite (-128), with the Under (7) hitting again.

Orioles at Blue Jays projected starters

RHP Grayson Rodriguez vs. RHP Kevin Gausman

Rodriguez (5-2, 3.53 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.33 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 10.8 K/9 in 51 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 1 HR, 1 BB, 10 K in 8-3 home loss vs. Boston Red Sox May 28
  • 2024 road splits: 2-1, 5.48 ERA (21 1/3 IP, 13 ER), 1.69 WHIP, .292 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 3 HR, 10 BB, 26 K in 4 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Blue Jays 4

Moneyline

The ORIOLES (-122) are worth a look in this series opener at Rogers Centre behind Rodriguez.

Rodriguez hasn’t been terribly strong on the road, but Gausman has struggled mightily at home for the Blue Jays (+104), too. This game has the potential to be a nailbiter for bettors, coming right down to the late innings.

Run line/Against the spread

The BLUE JAYS +1.5 (-154) are a decent play if you aren’t comfortable betting the road team. Toronto is 14-13 at home, although Baltimore is 16-8 on the road this season, so take that into consideration.

If you back the Jays and Gausman, go lightly. As an underdog, Toronto has cashed in 4 straight games on the run line as a ‘dog, with 2 outright wins, including May 13 in Baltimore.

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (-122) is worth a look in this series opener between AL East rivals.

Rodriguez has posted a 5.48 ERA in 4 road starts, while Gausman has managed a dismal 6.20 ERA in 5 home assignments. We should see the bats come alive for both sides on Monday, and it’s the best bet on the table.

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 3, Orioles 2

Moneyline

The Blue Jays (-165) should split the series with Gausman on the mound at Rogers Centre Thursday. The former Orioles righty has allowed fewer than 4 earned runs in 12 of his last 14 starts. However, I think the Blue Jays are being slightly overvalued at this number.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The Orioles are 29-10 on the run line this season as road underdogs. While Flaherty has been inconsistent this year, he did look good vs. the Blue Jays April 1.

LEAN ORIOLES +1.5 (-150).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Under is 27-16-3 this season when the Blue Jays are home favorites and 33-21-5 when they’re coming off a win. Gausman is having one of the best seasons of his career and should help keep this game low-scoring vs. his former team.

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 4

Moneyline

The Blue Jays are playing some of their worst baseball of the season and have dropped 3 straight games as home favorites. Kikuchi has given up a total of just 3 runs (2 earned) in his last 3 starts, but has been inconsistent this year and still owns a 3.91 ERA in July through 5 starts.

The Orioles are 5-0 in Rodriguez’s last 5 starts and have owned Toronto this season. I just don’t see the Blue Jays bouncing back Wednesday, especially since they’re 7-22 vs. the AL East on the year.

BET ORIOLES (+105).

Run line/Against the spread

Baltimore +1.5 (-190) should hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when the Orioles should win straight up.

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

Over/Under

The Orioles are averaging 8.7 runs over their last 3 contests and the Over has hit in 3 of their last 4 games. The Over is 17-11-1 when the Blue Jays play the AL East and should cash again Wednesday with 2 inconsistent pitchers on the mound.

BET OVER 8.5 (-110).

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).

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 4, Orioles 3

Moneyline

The Orioles were struggling offensively and had averaged just 2.8 runs over their previous 5 games before erupting for 9 runs Sunday.

Bassitt has allowed 3 or fewer earned runs in 6 straight starts and Toronto has gone 5-1 over that stretch. Look for Bassitt to have a bounce-back performance vs. Baltimore after giving up 8 earned runs in the 1st meeting this season.

BET BLUE JAYS (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

Baltimore +1.5 (-175) should 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.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Under is 25-15-3 this season when the Blue Jays are home favorites.

Bassitt has been consistent lately and with Baltimore’s recent offensive struggles, I prefer the Under in this spot.

LEAN UNDER 9 (-105).

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 7, Blue Jays 5

Moneyline

The ORIOLES (+125) are worth playing as underdogs in this middle game.

The O’s have won 4 of the past 5 games inside the division while going 10-4 in the past 14 games on the road. Baltimore is also 5-2 in the past 7 against a right-handed starting pitcher.

The Jays have won just once in the past 5 home games and have cashed just 1 of the previous 9 games against AL East foes.

Run line/Against the spread

The ORIOLES +1.5 (-150) aren’t priced out of line if you’d like an insurance run and just can’t bet them straight up.

Baltimore is 3-2 in the past 5 on the run line as an underdog, while winning 3 of those games outright, including Friday’s outing.

The Blue Jays have failed to win each of the past 4 games as favorites and are 0-5 in their last 5 on the run line as favorites.

Over/Under

The OVER 9.5 (-105) is worth a look with 2 very giving pitchers on the bump.

The Under cashed on Friday night, but the Over is 9-3-2 in the past 14 meetings between these clubs in Toronto and is 33-16-7 in the past 56 meetings overall in this series.

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Baltimore Orioles (28-16) and Toronto Blue Jays (25-19) will square off Friday in the opener of a 3-game series. First pitch from Rogers Centre is at 7:07 p.m. ET (Apple TV+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Blue Jays odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: 1st meeting

The Orioles come into this game after splitting a 4-game series with the Los Angeles Angels from Monday-Thursday. Baltimore has won 6 of its last 9 games and has maintained its spot in 2nd in the AL East, 3.5 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Orioles have scored the 9th-most runs in baseball (220).

The Jays are sitting in 3rd in the AL East, 6.5 games back, but after dropping 3 of 4 to the New York Yankees to start the week are in danger of falling into 4th. Their lineup has been disappointing, scoring 204 runs in 44 games (13th) but the pitching staff is holding steady with a 3.93 ERA (10th).

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays projected starters

RHP Kyle Gibson vs. LHP Yusei Kikuchi

Gibson (4-3, 4.67 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.40 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 through 52 IP.

  • Has lost 3 straight starts after going 4-0 over his first 6 outings
  • Has allowed 12 runs in his last 17 2/3 innings, bringing his ERA up from 3.93 to 4.67.

Kikuchi (5-0, 3.89 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 through 41 2/3 IP.

  • Was roughed up for 4 earned runs on 9 hits — 3 home runs — over 4 innings against the Atlanta Braves Sunday
  • Has given up 1 or 0 earned runs in 5 of his 8 starts but has allowed 4-plus runs in his other 3 turns

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Orioles 3

Moneyline

Kikuchi struggled in his last outing, but he hasn’t had back-to-back poor starts this season and I expect him to rebound nicely against the Orioles. Baltimore is just 2-3 in its last 5 games.

The Blue Jays are 7-1 in Kikuchi’s 8 starts this season, with their only loss being a 7-6 defeat to the Boston Red Sox. BET BLUE JAYS (-150).

Run line/Against the spread

The Blue Jays have won 5 games by at least 2 runs when Kikuchi has been on the mound, covering the run line in each of those contests. The Orioles have given Gibson absolutely no run support in his recent starts, getting shut out in each of his last 3 outings.

BET BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+125) to cover and win by at least 2 runs.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

Between the Orioles’ poor run support for Gibson and Kikuchi’s 5 starts of 1 or fewer runs allowed this season, I don’t expect this to be a terribly high-scoring game at Rogers Centre. The total has gone Under in each of Gibson’s last 3 starts, and it’s also gone Under in each of the Blue Jays’ last 2 games.

BET UNDER 9.5 (-115).
