Toronto are 14-5 SU in their last 19 games on the road.

The total has gone OVER in 8 of Toronto's last 9 games when playing on the road against Baltimore.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Baltimore's last 5 games.

Baltimore are 3-6 SU in their last 9 games.

The total has gone OVER in 14 of Baltimore's last 18 games against Toronto.

 

Prediction

The Orioles didn't show good offense in their last series but still beat the Yankees in 2 of 3 times and are 7-8 vs Blue Jays this season. Kremer will start for the Orioles who has been pretty good lately as the Orioles have won in 7 of his last 8 starts including 2 wins vs Toronto. Jose Berrios will be called to start this game and he has struggled in his last 2 outings but has good number vs Orioles in his career. The Blue Jays don't need to force anything here so I'll go with the Orioles to win this one at home. 

PICK: Orioles ML (+113)
