Blue Jays at Orioles picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Jays 6, Orioles 4
Money line
PASS: there are better prices to leverage elsewhere on the ledger.
Run line/Against the spread
TORONTO -1.5 (+120) offers up the best price of the 4 standard sides (2 ML, 2 RL) in this matchup.
Baltimore owns a mere .677 OPS over its last 13 games, and there is enough of a probability this one swings a couple or 3 runs toward the visitors by mid-game.
Over/Under
It’s been a high-scoring series in Baltimore and a high-scoring season series between these AL East foes. The Jays and O’s have combined for double-digit run totals in 10 of 12 games this season.
Analytics peg an all-around fade of Wednesday’s pitching — both starters and both bullpens.
BACK THE OVER 7.5 (-115).
