Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I might try the Orioles here but the line is a little too thick to mess with. Much of that is due to Bassitt’s recent struggles. Over his last three starts Bassitt is 1-2 with 11 earned runs over 16.2 innings of work on 17 hits and six walks combined. Baltimore should have some opportunities while he’s out there.
In the doubleheader Monday the O’s posted a strong offensive effort with 13 hits in game one. In the nightcap Baltimore had a decent offensive day but there were some struggles on the mound. I like the Orioles to get another W in game three but I’m probably staying away.
