Baltimore Orioles vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
Baltimore has dominated Toronto in the season series at 8-2 through ten games and are beating them by multiple run margins more often than not. Baltimore is simply the better squad here, and we are getting such a good price to take them at tonight. The Orioles dropped a series of road trips to San Diego before closing out strong with a sweep of Oakland before getting yesterday to travel and rest.
Grayson Rodriguez has the ball for the O's, and although his numbers on the whole season are a bit rough, he has been stellar for the last month or so. I really like the way he is throwing the ball. Getting the start at home with an extra day of rest should be a huge advantage to capitalize on.
Yusei Kikuchi is having a fine year for Toronto and is sprouting strong numbers heading into this start, but the pendulum is swinging away from favor for him here. Kikuchi has already faced this Baltimore squad three times this season, so it's a tough spot for him, especially when you consider the fact that they are already putting up a .950 OPS against him on the year.
Ryan Mountcastle is hitting .583/.688/.1.667 against Kikuchi in his career, so he might hit a bomb tonight too.
