Blue Jays vs Orioles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a favorite in this game. The Blue Jays have fallen into a bit of a slump recently but they have been playing well recently and they are going to snap out of it here. The Orioles have been a very hot team but the Jays are trying to hold down their wild card spot and they will be motivated to play here. They have Berrios starting here and he has not been great in a lot of his starts this season but the team is finding success with him recently as they have been winning a lot of the games he has been starting in. The Orioles have Kremer starting here and he has pitched well this season but missed a lot of it due to injury and has not made many starts. The Jays are hitting very well recently, even in their losses, and they almost came back late many times in the series opener here they lost on Monday. They will bounce back in this series and come out with the win though. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.
