Baltimore Orioles vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
The only aspect of this Orioles team that needs some work is their starting rotation. Kyle Bradish has been inconsistent in his second MLB season. He has been hittable recently, giving up at least six hits in three of his previous four starts. He faces a Toronto Blue Jays lineup that not only has been on fire but sees Bradish very well. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, George Springer, and Alejandro Kirk all hit over .333 with a collective 20 hits against Bradish in his young career. So why did Toronto move from a (-135) favorite to a (-110) Pick ‘Em?
It gets weirder. Jose Berrios, the starter for Toronto tonight, owns a 9-0 record with a 2.92 ERA in 12 starts against the Orioles in his career. His only complete game in his career was against Baltimore. Why did this line move so much if Berrios pitches his best against the Orioles?
This Orioles offense is on fire. Gunnar Henderson has arrived and hit the first grand slam of his career last night against Toronto. Baltimore has won five games in a row, seven of their past ten, and look unbeatable at home. They’ve won 21 of their 33 home games in 2023, a trend I don’t expect to be broken tonight, even with Berrios on the mound for Toronto. Fade the narrative that Berrios owns the Orioles; most of those starts weren’t even against this young roster.
Until the Orioles lose, continue to back them on the moneyline. The books are still undervaluing this Orioles team that just keeps on winning, regardless of the odds. There’s some magic brewing in Baltimore this season. Back the Orioles on the moneyline to continue their win streak at home.
