The current betting odds have the Orioles as an underdog in this game. Neither of these teams have been playing great recently as they have lost more games than won over the last week, but the Orioles took the series opener here and they have been playing a lot better in general than the Blue Jays have been over the last week or so. The Orioles have Voth starting here and he was awful earlier this season on the Nats, but he has pitched a lot better since coming to the Orioles and has not been allowing many runs in his starts recently. The Jays have Stripling starting here and he has been very good in his starts this season as he has not allowed many runs in a lot of his starts, but he is also coming off an injury and the Orioles have been hitting very well in their recent games. The Orioles are just the better team right now and this is a lot of value for them considering the Blue Jays are in a bit of a slump as well. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
