The Baltimore Orioles are very much in the running for the top American League wild-card spot, and a Wednesday victory over the Toronto Blue Jays certainly helped their cause. The AL East clubs tangle on the diamond once again tonight.
- The Orioles are 2-6 SU in their last eight games on the road against the Blue Jays.
- The Blue Jays are 5-1 SU in their last six games at home with Marcus Stroman as the starting pitcher.
- The Orioles are 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games as road underdogs.
Ubaldo Jimenez and Marcus Stroman will get the nod for the O’s and Jays, respectively. Jimenez (7-12, 5.71 ERA) has been solid since returning to the rotation in August and has posted quality starts in four of his last six outings. The hurler limited the Jays to three runs in 6 2/3 innings without factoring in the decision on August 30.
Stroman (9-9, 4.34) has not won since August 14 despite allowing three or fewer earned runs in six of his last seven starts. The Duke product last saw Baltimore on June 19 and was lit up for seven runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings.
The UNDER has been a hot bet when these teams collide. In the last six meetings between the Jays and Orioles, the UNDER is a perfect 6-0.
