The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have been rolling all season as they were trailing closely behind the Rays in 1st place for most of the year but now they have been surging up the standings and lead the division themselves with that great offense of theirs. The Blue Jays have also been playing well lately as they also have a really good offense but they have also been a really up and down team in their games, especially with their offense, and they will have a tougher time trying to score runs on the Orioles here. The Orioles have Bradish starting in this game and he did give up 5 runs in his last start but he has also been pitching really well in his other starts lately and he will be looking to bounce back with a much better performance in this very important series. He is also going to get some help from his team's bats as the Blue Jays are going with Hyun Jin Ryu in this game and he is making his 1st start of the season. Ryu has not been a bad starter but he also hasn't pitched in a very long time as he has been plagued by injuries and it will be really tough for him to jump right in this game and pitch well against a really good offense that is taking over the AL East at the moment. The Orioles will get their chances to take advantage of Ryu in his 1st start back from injury and this will be a game where the Orioles offense can carry a majority of the load if Bradish has another bad start. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
