Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 6, Orioles 4

Money line

PASS.

Blue Jays (-165) money line should hit, but there is better value on the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

Toronto was shut out Thursday in an embarrassing 11-0 loss vs. the Rays. Expect Toronto’s offense to come out extra focused and to bounce back vs. an inconsistent starting pitcher in Lyles.

BET BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+120).

Over/Under

Toronto’s bats were quiet Thursday vs. the Rays, but that likely won’t be the case for a 2nd straight game. Lyles will have a hard time containing an extra motivated Toronto lineup Friday.

BET OVER 8.5 (-130).

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 and predictions.

The Baltimore Orioles (59-55) and the Toronto Blue Jays (61-52) meet in the opener of a 3-game set Monday at Rogers Centre. First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Orioles lead 4-2

The surprising Orioles picked up a 2-game sweep of the Blue Jays last week at Camden Yards and now try to carry over the momentum north of the border. This is the first of 3 meetings this week, and these clubs face each other 13 more times down the stretch.

The Blue Jays are reeling after dropping 2 of 3 against the Cleveland Guardians at home. Toronto has won just 2 of its last 8 outings, slipping to just 2 1/2 games ahead of the O’s in the AL East standings.

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 7, Orioles 4

Money line

The BLUE JAYS (-165) are a risky play based upon their lack of success against the Orioles (+133) this season, and their play lately as a whole.

However, while Kikuchi has really struggled lately, he has been fairly productive at home. The O’s have seen the ball well against him, so go lightly here, but Bradish has been very erratic and giving as well.

Run line/Against the spread

The BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+120) is a better play against the run line. They’re due, as Toronto’s past 2 wins have been 1-run games. Their last time covering the run line was Aug. 4 in Minnesota. However, 10 of the past 12 victories dating back to July 17 have been by 2 or more runs.

Over/Under

The OVER 9.5 (+100) is the best play on the board, and a tremendous value at even-money.

The Over has cashed 7 times in the past 8 starts by Bradish, including his most recent 2 showings against the Jays Aug. 9 in Baltimore and June 13 in Toronto.

While the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 starts by Kikuchi, he has allowed 9 ER in 9 IP in 2 starts vs. Baltimore this season, both Over results.

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and prediction

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

The Baltimore Orioles (40-90) and Toronto Blue Jays (69-61) play the second game of a three-game set Tuesday at Rogers Centre. First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Orioles vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Orioles LHP Keegan Akin (1-8, 7.26 ERA) makes his 13th start and 20th appearance. He has a 1.70 WHIP, 8.0 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 through 70 2/3 IP.

  • Allowed just one earned run, three hits and two walks across a career-high seven innings in a victory against the Los Angeles Angels Thursday.
  • Pounded for six runs, seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts across 4 1/3 IP in a loss in Buffalo, N.Y., against the Blue Jays June 26.

Blue Jays LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (12-7, 3.88 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.17 WHIP, 7.2 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9 through 143 2/3 IP.

  • Rocked for seven runs and seven hits, including three homers, in just 3 2/3 IP in a loss against the Chicago White Sox Thursday.
  • Has allowed four or more runs in three of his past four starts, and he has a dismal 6.51 ERA in five August outings.

Prediction

Blue Jays 6, Orioles 5

Money line (ML)

The Blue Jays (-350) will cost you three-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s just a nonsense wager. You can’t bet like that on the regular and expect to be ahead over the long term.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The ORIOLES +2.5 (-115) lost 7-3 in the series opener, but they actually held a 2-1 lead heading to the bottom of the sixth before the bullpen fell apart.

Baltimore is an attractive play with two-and-a-half runs in this one as Akin pitched pretty well last time out, and Ryu has been awful in the month of August.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 9.5 (-120) is the way to go here. Overall, Akin and Ryu have been very giving, and the bats should get going early and often.

The Over narrowly cashed with a run in the top of the ninth, and the Over is now 6-2-1 across the past nine meetings in this series. The Over is now 5-0-1 in Baltimore’s past six as a road ‘dog, and 40-19-3 in the previous 62 against winning teams.

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and prediction

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

The Baltimore Orioles (40-89) and Toronto Blue Jays (68-61) play the opener of a three-game set Monday at Rogers Centre. First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Orioles vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Orioles RHP Chris Ellis (1-0, 3.86 ERA) makes his 2nd start and 3rd appearance. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 12.9 K/9 and 1.3 BB/9 through 7 IP.

  • Allowed three earned runs, five hits and no walks with three strikeouts in his team debut Aug. 25 against the Los Angeles Angels, a 38-pitch no-decision.
  • Was previously with the Rays, and his win this season actually came in relief against Baltimore Aug. 17.

Blue Jays LHP Robbie Ray (9-5, 2.72 ERA) makes his 17th start and 35th appearance. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 7.3 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 through 109 2/3 IP.

  • Ray hasn’t had a decision in five August appearances, but he has allowed just six earned runs, 23 hits and seven walks with 42 strikeouts across 34 IP while turning in a 1.59 ERA.
  • Allowed two runs, six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 4 1/3 IP June 18 in Baltimore, his only previous appearance against the O’s this season.

Prediction

Blue Jays 7, Orioles 1

Money line (ML)

The Blue Jays (-320) will cost you more than three times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive for a single-game bet.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The BLUE JAYS -2.5 (+105) are a much better play on the run line laying the two-and-a-half runs. They’re 7-2 in their past nine meetings against the Orioles +2.5 (-125), and all seven of those victories have been by three or more runs.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 9.5 (-122) is the lean here despite the fact the Over is 5-2-1 across the past eight meetings.

The Under cashed in each of the past three outings for the Blue Jays and nine of the past 10 overall. The Under is also 9-0 in the past nine for Toronto as a favorite and 7-0 in the past seven tries against a right-handed starting pitcher.

Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and prediction

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

The Toronto Blue Jays (43-39) and Baltimore Orioles (27-57) play the opener of a three-game set Tuesday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Steven Matz is the projected starting pitcher for the Blue Jays. He is 7-3 with a 4.60 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 9.7 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 through 72 1/3 IP over 14 starts.

Matz was hammered for 4 earned runs on 5 hits and no walks with 3 strikeouts across just 2 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Seattle Mariners last Wednesday. He ended June 1-1 with a 6.39 ERA over three starts; it was his worst month of the season.

RHP Spenser Watkins makes his first MLB start and just his second career appearance Tuesday. He tossed 1 scoreless inning out of the bullpen with no hits, walk or strikeouts against the Los Angeles Angels Friday.

The 28-year-old was a 30th-round pick of the Detroit Tigers in the 2014 MLB June Amateur Draft.

  • Over/Under: 11 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Blue Jays 8, Orioles 4

Money line (ML)

The BLUE JAYS (-190) are a little bit expensive on the road, but they’re worth the price. Matz has been erratic lately, but at least he’ll go deep into the game.

The Orioles counter with an opener, and a cadre of bullpen pitchers, and that won’t fly against the high-octane Jays offense.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The BLUE JAYS -1.5 (-130) are a strong play on the run line. The Orioles dropped their last four games against left-handed starting pitchers, and they’re just 1-8 in the last nine home games against the Jays.

In addition, Baltimore has won just 16 of its last 52 meetings with Toronto overall. This won’t end well for the home side.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 11 (-105) is a good play, as the Blue Jays should be able to roll up plenty of runs.

Plus, the O’s bullpen is 25th in the majors with an aggregate ERA of 4.80, so look for Toronto to score often.

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and prediction

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

The Toronto Blue Jays (38-35) play the second game of their four-game set against the Baltimore Orioles (23-52) Friday at their temporary home of Sahlen Field in Buffalo, N.Y. First pitch is set for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Blue Jays RHP Alek Manoah (1-0, 4.18 ERA) makes the sixth start of his rookie season. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 10.3 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 with 7 home runs surrendered over 23 2/3 innings.

  • Has been roughed up and failed to make it out of the fourth inning in two of his five outings, including Saturday against the Orioles
  • Manoah was suspended five games for hitting Orioles 3B Maikel Franco in that last outing but is appealing the ruling

Orioles RHP Matt Harvey (3-9, 7.80 ERA) makes his 16th start. He enters Friday with a 1.78 WHIP, 7.7 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 through 62 1/3 innings.

  • Has given up just 10 home runs through 15 starts, but his rates of hard contact and fly balls are both above league average, and he has allowed an AL-high 54 earned runs
  • Faced the Blue Jays Sunday and allowed 4 ER over 4 1/3 IP; it was his longest outing in his last five games

  • Money line: Orioles +190 (bet $100 to win $190) | Blue Jays -250 (bet $250 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Orioles +1.5 (+105) | Blue Jays -1.5 (-130)
  • Over/Under: 10.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Blue Jays 8, Orioles 4

Money line (ML)

The Blue Jays picked up a fifth straight victory Thursday with a 9-0 domination of the O’s. They chased Orioles RHP Dean Kremer with 6 runs in the first inning and got 7 2/3 innings against the Baltimore bullpen.

Manoah struggled against the Orioles last weekend but still has a sizable advantage in the starting pitching matchup against Harvey. The Toronto bullpen is better rested and has been much improved of late with a 10th-ranked 4.13 xFIP over the last 14 days.

Still, we need to PASS at the steep -250 price point for the outright win. There’s better value to be had on the spread.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The BLUE JAYS -1.5 (-130) should be backed to win by at least 2 runs. They’re second in MLB with a .776 team OPS against right-handed pitching, while the Orioles are 29th in the split with a rate of .654.

The Baltimore bullpen has also been worked for a total of 55 1/3 innings over the last 14 days and has a 4.35 xFIP over that time. Unless Harvey can turn back the clock, Toronto should win its fourth straight game against Baltimore by a multi-run margin.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 10.5 (-115) is a strong play while leaning into the vig for the most likely result as viewed by BetMGM.

The Jays will provide the bulk of the run support, but the O’s hit Manoah well a week ago and should get on the board after being held to a single run over their last three games.
