Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles 6/13/19 MLB Odds, Preview, and Prediction

Two struggling American League East close out their current three-game set as the Toronto Blue Jays take on the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday at Oriole Park in Camden Yards.

Marcus Stroman will open on top of the mound for the Blue Jays on Thursday. The 28-year-old right-hander has started in a total of 14 games this season and has posted a record of 3-8 with an ERA of 3.31, a WHIP of 1.32 and a BAA of .255. Toronto is 4-6 SU in Stroman’s last 10 starts of the season.

The Medford, New York native has pitched in a total 81.2 innings this season and has given up 30 earned runs on 80 hits with seven home runs. Stroman has walked a total of 28 batters and has struck out a total of 63 hitters. In his last start, Stroman allowed six earned runs on seven hits in 5.2 innings of work. He got the loss as the Blue Jays lost to the Diamondbacks 2-8 last June 7th.

Shortstop Freddie Galvis leads Toronto with his .241 batting average. First baseman Justin Smoak leads the team in RBIs and home runs with 33 and 12 on the season, respectively. As a team, the Blue Jays are hitting the ball at a measly .218 clip and they have scored just a total of 244 runs on the season.

For the Orioles, it will be Gabriel Ynoa who will start for the Orioles in Game 3 of this current set. The 26-year old from La Vega in the Dominican Republic has pitched in a total of 12 games this season with three starts. Ynoa has a record of 0-2 with an ERA of 4.96, a WHIP of 1.44 and a BAA of .265 this season.

The right-hander has allowed a total of 18 earned runs on 35 hits with six home runs. Ynoa has a total of 12 walks and 28 strikeouts on the season. In his last start, Ynoa allowed three earned runs on three hits with two home runs in 6.0 innings pitched. He got the loss as the Astros defeated the Orioles 4-3 last June 7th.

Trey Mancini leads the Baltimore Orioles with his .298 batting average. Dwight Smith Jr. has 41 RBIs to lead the Orioles while Renato Nunez has 16 home runs to pace the team this season. The Orioles are batting at a .238 clip as a team and they have scored a total of 265 runs this season.

Who Wins?

The Blue Jays are 0-7 SU in their last seven road games. Toronto is also 0-5 SU in their last five games against a right-handed starter and 0-4 SU in their last four games played on grass. On the other hand, the Orioles are 4-1 SU in their last five meetings overall and 6-2 in their last 8 meetings in Baltimore.

The Blue Jays are 7-11 SU as baseball betting favorites this season and are 13-32 SU in 45 games played against a right-handed starting pitcher. On the other hand, the Orioles are 4-5 SU in their last 9 games as underdogs and are 1-4 SU in their last five games against a right-handed starting pitcher. Stroman is 1-2 SU in three starts against the Orioles.

Toronto has scored two runs or fewer in eight of Stroman’s starts this season. They also scored just two runs in the opening game of this series and have hit just one home run off the majors’ top home run yielding staff. Ynoa held Houston in check in his previous outing. He should be able to do the same to Toronto and give the home team the victory here. I’m picking the Baltimore Orioles to beat the Toronto Blue Jays on 6/13/19.
