3 Ways To Bet Blue Jays vs Orioles – Tues, Sept. 27


The Jays will begin their final home series of the season tonight when they welcome the Baltimore Orioles to town for an important three-game set.

Last night, Toronto appeared well on its way to victory (and a 3-0 sweep for Monday’s Blue Jays betting tips) before allowing 6 runs in the final 2 innings and losing 7-5 to the Yankees.

The loss clinched the AL East for the Red Sox and also kept Toronto 1 game ahead of Baltimore for the first wild card spot, with the Tigers and Mariners each 3 games back of the Jays.

Tonight, Aaron Sanchez gets the ball for Toronto, with Kevin Gausman pitching for the O’s.

Here are 3 ways to do Blue Jays betting tonight.

1. Over 8.5

Sanchez has had a terrific season, but he’s been struggling a bit lately. He’s got a 5.40 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in his last 3 starts, averaging 3 walks per game in those outings. Whether it’s being out of routine with the 6-man rotation or the blister problem he had recently, Sanchez just isn’t as sharp these days.

Toronto’s knocked Kevin Gausman around this year in two games against him, both at Rogers Centre. He’s given up 8 earned runs in 10 innings, including 14 hits – 4 of which were home runs.

5 of 7 meetings between the clubs this year in Toronto went Over the total.

2. Blue Jays To Win

Gausman has been one of Baltimore’s best pitchers this season, but his last start was bumped back due to an intercostal injury (rib area) and he may not be 100% for this game.

If Jason Grilli hadn’t melted down last night, Toronto would have won 6 of 7 games coming into tonight. The Jays’ early September struggles look to be behind them.

3. Blue Jays Over Team Total

With the Jays as -145 favourites and the Over at 8.5, the Blue Jays team total for this game will be 4 or 4.5.

That might be the way you want to go here if you think Toronto will score some runs off Gausman tonight. Baltimore isn’t exactly tearing the cover off the ball right now, scoring 3 runs or less in 8 of their last 9 games.

It’s the big reason Baltimore has gone Under the total in 9 straight.
