Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction 5-15-24 Picks

The Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles meet Wednesday in MLB action from Oriole Park. Here’s a Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays prediction. This will be the final installment in a three-Game series. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for the Game.

Toronto Blue Jays Betting Preview

The Blue Jays took on the Minnesota Twins over the weekend. Toronto won 10-8 on Saturday but otherwise took losses 3-2 and 5-1 to drop the series. After a 3-2 win over the Orioles in the Monday opener, in Game two Toronto and Baltimore got rained out. That Game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on July 29.

The Blue Jays didn’t immediately announce a name for Wednesday’s starter job following the postponement. Yusei Kikuchi was originally pencilled in here.

Baltimore Orioles Betting Preview

Over on the Orioles’ side, they played the Arizona Diamondbacks in their weekend series. Baltimore won 4-2 and 5-4 over the first two outings, but then took a 9-2 blowout loss on Sunday. In the opener loss, the O’s got a pair of solo home runs from Adley Rutschman as their only RBIs.

It’ll be Kyle Bradish in the starting pitcher role for the O’s on Wednesday. This year over his two starts Bradish has a 1.86 ERA without a decision. In 9.2 innings he’s got 14 Ks. Bradish is 16-14 with a 3.62 ERA in 55 career starts. We were originally going to see Cole Irvin here, but he’ll be pushed back due to the rainout.

Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

I’ll stay with the O’s here. I’m probably staying away, though. Bradish should be able to get the Orioles moving while he’s out there. He’s got just two earned in 9.2 innings over two starts so far. Bradish will likely have to contend with some returning bats in the Toronto lineup, though. Jays catcher Danny Jansen and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier were slated to rejoin the team following bouts of illness/injury on Tuesday before the Game was called off. George Springer and Justin Turner could be back as well.

On Monday the Orioles had a very quiet offensive night on just three team hits—two of those belonging to Rutschman. Baltimore needs a rebound at the plate for Wednesday’s Game. I think they’ll get it, but this one should be close as well.
