The Orioles are coming into this game with a 27-36 record overall and they are 12-21 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just split their 4-game series against the Kansas City Royals 2-2 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Blue Jays on Thursday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Thursday with the 3rd game still to be played on Wednesday. Bruce Zimmermann is the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while Tyler Wells will be on the mound for them here on Thursday. He is 3-4 with a 3.86 ERA this season. His team won 4 of their last 5 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 4 Ks on 5 hits in 6 IP against the Kansas City Royals. They scored 22 runs in their last series averaging just over 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 26 runs against them averaging just over 6 runs allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 36-25 record overall and they are 19-11 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 3-game series against the Detroit Tigers 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Orioles on Thursday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Thursday with the 3rd game still to be played on Wednesday. José Berríos is the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while Kevin Gausman will be on the mound for them here on Thursday. He is 5-5 with a 2.67 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 earned runs, 0 homers, and 3 BB with 4 strikeouts on 6 hits in 6 innings played against the Detroit Tigers. They scored 17 runs in their last series averaging just under 6 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 4 runs against them averaging just over 1 run allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays are coming into this game as a massive favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well recently and they are scoring a lot of runs in their games as well. They just dropped a game at home against the Orioles in this series but 1 game is all they should really be losing here and they almost came back in the game they lost but bad pitching put them in a hole from the start. They will have a much better option in Gausman starting here though and Gausman has had some rough starts recently but he is coming off of a much better start in his last game and has figured out some of the problems he was dealing with. They are going up against an Orioles team that is at the bottom of their division and has not been a very good team on the road this season. They have Wells on the mound here and he has not been bad this season but the Jays lineup is hitting very well right now and these are games they need to win at home if they want to be a major force in this league. The best bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game on the runline.
