BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Baltimore's last 7 games on the road.

The total has gone OVER in 6 of Baltimore's last 6 games when playing on the road against Toronto.

The total has gone OVER in 6 of Toronto's last 9 games.

Toronto are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.

The total has gone OVER in 8 of Toronto's last 8 games against Baltimore.

Prediction

The Blue Jays have struggled lately and have lost 7 of their last 10 games but they still have a great record at home. For this game they'll send Yusei Kikuchi to the mound who has struggled this season and has been pounded by the Orioles this season. The Orioles hot streak ended when they faced the Rays but they're 4-2 vs Blue Jays this season. Kyle Bradish will take the mound who has been up and down this season and was also pounded by the Blue Jays. The over is cashing big time when these two teams have met to expect another high scoring game. Take the over.

PICK: Over 9 (-110)
