Friday MLB Free play. My selection is on the 'under' between Baltimore and Toronto at 7:05 pm ET on Friday. Baltimore's offense exploded on Opening Day, launching six home runs in a 12-2 rout. However, I expect a much different outcome on Friday as they face a quality starting pitcher in Kevin Gausman, who has a strong track record against his former team. Gausman has held current Orioles hitters to just a .214 batting average and a .569 OPS over a sizable sample. While he didn't crack the top-10 in Cy Young voting last season, he still posted a respectable 3.77 FIP and 1.22 WHIP, giving Toronto a reliable presence atop its rotation. Expect him to come out sharp in his season debut, especially with the roof likely closed at Rogers Centre, eliminating any weather-related offensive advantages. On the other side, Charlie Morton takes the mound for Baltimore. While he's no longer in his prime, he remains a durable and effective veteran, making 30+ starts for a fourth straight season last year while actually lowering his WHIP from 2023. Blue Jays hitters have struggled against him historically, batting just .246 with a .645 OPS. With this being only the second game of the season, both bullpens are in good shape, further supporting a lower-scoring outcome. Look for a much more controlled game compared to the slugfest we saw on Opening Day. Take the 'under.'
