Rookie pitcher Kyle Bradish is their starting pitcher on Monday while Dean Kremer is making his start in this game on Tuesday. He is 4-4 with a 3.69 ERA this season.

The Blue Jays lost 4 of their last 5 games and enter this game off of a loss. They lost their last series against the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 61-52 record overall and have a home record of 35-23. This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Orioles on Tuesday with the 1st game still to be played on Monday. Their offense ranks 3rd in the MLB with a .759 OPS. Yusei Kikuchi is their starting pitcher on Monday while Alek Manoah is making his start in this game on Tuesday. He is 12-5 with a 2.56 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 5 Ks on 8 hits through 5 IP against the Baltimore Orioles. 

The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a favorite in this game. The Blue Jays have not been playing well in their recent games, even playing at home here in their last series, but they have their ace in Manoah on the mound here and they should be able to turn this game into a win with him pitching. Manoah rarely has a bad start and he has not allowed many runs in any of his starts this season. He has been a lights out pitcher since coming into the MLB and he is their best chance at winning games, especially at home. The Orioles have been very good over the last few weeks but they have been starting to slip in their recent games with a lot of losses, and their offense has not been great either. They will struggle to score runs in this game while the Jays score runs with ease here as Kremer has not been anything special this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays on the runline.
