Orioles vs Blue Jays Prediction

The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Blue Jays haven't looked great in their games this season with their 28-31 record overall which has them at the bottom of the AL East. They haven't looked great in their home games either with their 14-14 home record, but they have still played better there this season. The Orioles have looked great in their games though, going 38-20 this season which has them right behind the Yankees in 1st place of the AL East. The Orioles have also looked great in their road games with their 17-8 road record, but they already took the 1st game of this series and in a 4-game series like this, the Blue Jays are going to fight harder and harder in each game they lose. The Orioles have Suarez starting and he has looked good this season with his 2-0 record and his 1.57 ERA, but he also hasn't been tested much as he hasn't had many starts at all. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have Berrios on the mound and he has been one of their best starters this season. He is 5-4 with a 2.78 ERA and coming off another good start in his last one. The team has also won 3 of the last 4 games he has started in so they are going to bring their best effort here knowing he gives them a great chance to win a game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.
