Baltimore Orioles Betting Preview

The Baltimore Orioles have scored 17 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 6 games. The Orioles have won 10 of their last 13 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Adley Rutschman leads the Orioles with 46 hits and 24 RBI, while Ryan Mountcastle and Austin Hays have combined for 90 hits and 49 RBI. Dean Kremer gets the ball, and he is 5-1 with a 4.94 ERA and 36 strikeouts this season. Kremer is 1-3 with a 5.77 ERA and 24 strikeouts in his career against the Blue Jays.

Toronto Blue Jays Betting Preview

The Toronto Blue Jays have scored 9 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 10 games. The Blue Jays have lost 5 of their last 7 games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Bo Bichette leads the Blue Jays with 61 hits and 30 RBI, while Matt Chapman and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have combined for 101 hits and 49 RBI. Kevin Gausman gets the ball, and he is 2-3 with a 3.27 ERA and 77 strikeouts this season. Gausman is 1-1 with a 7.00 ERA and 9 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles.

Trends

The Orioles are 11-4 in their last 15 road games and 4-1 in their last 5 overall. The Blue Jays are 1-5 in their last 6 home games and 1-5 in their last 6 overall. The under is 8-3-2 in Orioles last 13 overall. The under is 13-6-1 in Blue Jays last 20 home games. The Orioles are 17-35 in the last 52 meetings in Toronto and 18-37 in the last 55 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

The Toronto Blue Jays have an edge on the mound with Kevin Gausman over Dean Kremer and I still believe it's only a matter of time before their offense gets going. This could be that spot, especially with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hitting 4 homers against Keremer in 16 career at bats. This should be the breakthrough. Give me the Blue Jays and the RL for max betting value.
