The Orioles are entering this game on a 4 game winning streak and completed the sweep 3-0 in their 3-game series against the Kansas City Royals in their last series. They enter this game with a 41-24 record overall and have a home record of 20-12.

Dean Kremer is their starting pitcher on Tuesday while Kyle Bradish is making his start in this game on Wednesday. He is 2-2 with a 4.25 ERA this season.

The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have been really hot this season, they are only in 2nd place in the AL East as they trail the Rays who have the best record in the entire MLB but the Orioles are only 5 games behind with one of the best records in the MLB too. The Blue Jays haven't been that great this season, they have been playing a lot better lately as they are now 7 games above .500 but they are still 5 games behind the Orioles in the division and are in 4th place in the AL East, 10 games behind the leading Rays. Pitching has been a big problem for the Blue Jays this season and they aren't going to have it any better here with Berrios on the mound as he hasn't been great in his starts this season. He has been pitching better lately but has been giving up a ton of runs in a majority of his starts over the last 2 seasons and he could easily implode on the mound with a really hot Orioles offense at home here. The Orioles haven't been great with their pitching either but they do have Bradish starting who has been a lot better in his starts lately and he will have a good outing at home here against a Blue Jays lineup that hasn't been putting up a ton of runs lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
