Blue Jays at Orioles picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Jays 5, Orioles 4
Money line
Bradish has been better in his last few starts, but Toronto has hit him well this season and the Jays have been hot lately. They are 14-5 in their last 19 games, and the offense has put up at least 4 runs in 8 straight contests.
Look for the BLUE JAYS (-112) to come away with the win.
Run line/Against the spread
This is a pretty evenly matched game and there doesn’t appear to be any value on either side.
It is best to just PASS on the run line.
Over/Under
Bradish owns marginal skills and is facing a very good offense that has had success against him this season and White has put up a 7.04 ERA in 5 starts with Toronto — although his skills haven’t been nearly that bad.
This total looks a little too low and should push OVER 8.5 (-115).
