PUBLIC BETTING INFORMATION
The public is backing the Blue Jays today. Toronto is getting 55 percent of the wagers for this game as the road underdog against the Orioles.
KEY INJURIES
Baltimore has left fielder Colby Rasmus on injury report currently as he is on the 10-day DL with a hip flexor strain. The team is also without Mark Trumbo due to a quad strain. Texas DH Kendrys Morales is now on the 10-day DL due to a hamstring injury.
BETTING STRATEGIES
Toronto has won the first two games in this series, picking up a 7-1 win on Monday and a 2-1 win on Tuesday. Tuesday features a pair of nice starts as Aaron Sanchez pitched eight innings for Toronto. He allowed just one run on three hits with five walks and four strikeouts. Andrew Cashner pitched seven innings for the Orioles and didn’t allow a run. He gave up four hits and three walks with six strikeouts.
Curtis Granderson hit a solo home run in the ninth to lift the Jays to the win. He had two hits to lead the team while Yangervis Solarte and Kevin Pillar each had a pair of hits as well. Baltimore was led by Chance Sisco, who had a RBI double.
I am surprised by these odds. Estrada has been pretty good on the mound and is facing Gausman, who has been a wreck. Toronto also has won the first two in this series as is, yet is the underdog in this game. I don’t see anything on paper that says Toronto shouldn’t be able to win today.
