The Blue Jays are scoring 3.9 runs per game, which is near the bottom of all of Major League Baseball. Toronto has hit just 52 homeruns, which is a surprise for a team that was projected to be one of the leaders offensively. The Blue Jays have a team batting average of .233, which is 21st.
Toronto Beats Baltimore
With a new pitcher, the Orioles will need to make sure they have the bullpen ready, and the bats going to work. Cade Povich may be great, but he will not be able to go all game. Look for a close game, but the Toronto offense finds a way to win this game, and even the series up.
Our final bet for this game is the Toronto Blue Jays -110 over the Baltimore Orioles.
