Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles MLB Picks, Odds, Predictions 10/3/21

The Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays meet Sunday in MLB action at Rogers Centre. The Orioles need a win after losing 10 of their last 15 games. The Blue Jays look for a win after winning five of their last seven games.

The Baltimore Orioles have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Orioles have lost six of their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. Cedric Mullins leads the Orioles with 174 hits and 59 RBI while Trey Mancini and Ryan Mountcastle have combined for 275 hits and 160 RBI. Bruce Zimmermann gets the ball, and he is 4-4 with a 4.66 ERA and 55 strikeouts this season. This will be Zimmermann’s first career game against the Blue Jays.

The Toronto Blue Jays have scored 18 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. The Blue Jays have won six straight games when scoring four or more runs. Bo Bichette leads the Blue Jays with 189 hits and 102 RBI while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Marcus Semien have combined for 358 hits and 210 RBI. Hyun Jin Ryu gets the ball, and he is 13-10 with a 4.39 ERA and 136 strikeouts this season. Ryu is 4-1 with a 4.43 ERA and 40 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles.

Zimmermann has actually been decent in his last few outings, but he’s pitched just four innings since June and the lack of consistent reps makes him hard to trust. Ryu had a rough month of September, but he’s been solid for majority of the entire season and he has a hot offense behind him. The Toronto Blue Jays need to win to have any chance of sneaking into the playoffs. I’ll side with the home team.
