Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Orioles Moneyline
For the Blue Jays to beat the Orioles, it would take a miracle. We saw that last night in Toronto's walk-off win over Baltimore. For the Orioles to beat Toronto, it just takes things to go as planned. The plan tonight is a decisive Baltimore win.
The Orioles face off against southpaw Yusei Kikuchi as baseball's best team against left-handed pitchers. The Orioles post a collective .271 average and .813 OPS against lefties like Kikuchi.
They also crush the Toronto starter, specifically, with current Orioles bats posting a .922 OPS in 132 career at-bats against Kikuchi. He also enters this game on a particularly unprofitable streak, as the Jays have lost his last seven outings. He's 2-5 on the year.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Kikuchi Under 6.5 Ks
On top of Kikuchi losing games lately, he's also not hitting his strikeout overs. The Blue Jays lefty has gone over 6.5 strikeouts in just one of his last five outings and two of his last eight.
The Blue Jays starter faces a tough task in the Orioles tonight, too. As I mentioned above, the Orioles hitters are baseball's best against lefties and have tee'd off against Kikuchi in the past. But, more specifically, they really haven't struck out much against Kikuchi in the past. In current Baltimore hitter's 132 career at-bats against Kikuchi, they've had just 38 strikeouts.
Kikuchi has gone under 6.5 Ks in five of his last seven starts against the Orioles.

Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Ryan Mountcastle Over 0.5 Hits
Shall I once again hash out the successes of Ryan Mountcastle in Toronto?
The Orioles slugger absolutely rakes against the Jays, bashing 17 career homers against Toronto and eight of those at Rogers Centre. Specifically, he destroys Kikuchi. In 17 career at-bats against Kikuchi, Mountcastle has eight hits, four homers, and a 1.807 OPS. He's as close to a hit lock as it comes tonight against the Jays and Kikuchi.
