ORIOLES KEY TRENDS: After holding on for a 6-4 win last night, the Orioles are now 4-0 in their last four games versus the Blue Jays. The Orioles are also 7-2 in their last nine games overall, are 7-3 in their last 10 road games and are 5-0 in their last five matchups versus a right-handed starter.
BLUE JAYS KEY TRENDS: The Blue Jays are 4-0 in Estrada’s last four home starts against the Orioles and 6-2 in his last eight outings overall versus Baltimore. The Blue Jays, despite their issues to start the season, are also 27-57 in their last 84 games against the Orioles in Toronto. That said, they’re winless at 0-5 in their last five home games and are 1-6 in Estrada’s last seven outings against American League East opponents.
Bet Today’s Orioles vs. Blue Jays Game
OUR PICK: Estrada got roughed up in his last start against the Rays but if you go back to his debut, he held the Orioles to two runs through six innings. I’m betting on Estrada pitching more like he did in his first start than his last outing. With Chris Tillman (shoulder) on the disabled list, Asher is leaving Triple-A Norfolk to join Baltimore’s rotation. This is a perfect opportunity for Toronto to pick up a much-needed win with the club struggling mightily to start the season.
