Blue Jays vs. Orioles Prediction and Odds for Wednesday, Sept. 7 (Bo Bichette's Power Surge to Slow Down Tonight)
By Ben Heisler
I want to take a quick opportunity to thank Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette for his services Tuesday night, as he crushed his fourth home run in his last two games vs. the Baltimore Orioles to give your boy a hit on a +800 anytime home run prop!
Bichette and the Blue Jays look to get back in the win column in the rubber match of their three-game series tonight from Camden Yards in Baltimore when they send right-hander Alek Manoah to the bump against Tyler Wells; returning from an oblique injury that forced him on the 15-day injured list.
Here are the latest odds for tonight's AL East showdown in the Charm City.
Blue Jays vs. Orioles Odds, Run Line and Total
Blue Jays vs. Orioles Prediction and Pick
I have a very difficult time fading Alek Manoah, and while the line has shifted in the Orioles' direction at several sportsbooks, I'll back an early under on the board instead.
Manoah's had decent numbers vs. the Orioles this year, going 1-1 with a 3.78 ERA in three starts. Since giving up four runs in 5.2 innings to the O's in Toronto four starts ago, he's since gone 20.1 innings with a 0.89 ERA. He's locked in.
Meanwhile, Wells' return back to the rotation is a welcome one, provided he's healthy. He had been one of Baltimore's most consistent starters with a 3.38 ERA in the first half of the year in 18 starts. It was evident he wasn't right in his two starts since the break, going just 9.1 total innings and coughing up 9 runs and four of his 14 total home runs. If he's actually healthy and ready to go, he should be back in form in limited duty.
There's also some potentially ugly weather in Baltimore, with rain and winds blowing straight in from center field eventually tapering off in the 8-9 p.m. ET hour. That's a big advantage to both starting pitchers if the rain holds off in the early going; limiting fly balls at Camden Yards.
LEAN: TOR @ BAL FIRST FIVE UNDER 3.5 (+112)
