Orioles vs. Blue Jays Prediction
Losers of five straight, will the Blue Jays finally snap their losing streak when they host the Orioles today at 7:07PM ET?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Blue Jays are -116 money line favorites versus the Orioles, who have odds of +105 to pull off the upset tonight in Toronto. With Kevin Gausman set to face Francisco Liriano in the pitching matchup, the over/under now sits at 8.5 runs after opening at 9.

In two games this season, Gausman doesn’t have a win and owns a 5.40 ERA to go along with a 1.85 WHIP over 10 innings. He tossed 4 2/3 innings in his last start, allowing four runs on eight hits and walking three in a no-decision on Saturday versus the Yankees. He also struck out four batters as he has struggled taking over the “ace” role for Baltimore.
Liriano was destroyed in his 2017 debut, allowing five runs on three hits in a no-decision last Friday versus the Rays. He walked four and struck out just one batter in the outing, which was highly disappointing considering he dominated opposing hitters this spring. His ERA is a whopping 135.00 to start the season.
Bet Tonight’s Orioles vs. Blue Jays Game
OUR PICK: The Orioles are 25-57 in their last 82 games in Toronto and 1-4 in Gausman’s last five road starts versus the Blue Jays. Baltimore has also lost nine of Gausman’s last 11 outings on the road when he faces a team with a losing record and is 8-22 in his last 30 road starts. The Blue Jays are due and despite the Orioles having their “ace” on the hill tonight, I’ll buy low on Toronto to finally snap its losing streak.
