MLB Odds: Jays Open Second Half Versus Baltimore

The Toronto Blue Jays (43-52, minus-8.64 betting units) return from the All-Star break this Friday when they host the Baltimore Orioles (28-69, minus-37.16 units) in a battle of the two worst teams in the American League East. First pitch is at 7:07 PM ET on Sportsnet.

It’s been a rough season for Toronto, but at least they’ve made a profit with Sam Gaviglio (4.58 ERA) on the mound. He’s got the Jays up 1.76 betting units this year on a team record of 5-4, with the Over at 5-3-1; however, Gaviglio has made it to the fifth inning only once in his last seven starts, so there will be extra pressure on Toronto’s bullpen to get the job done Friday. That bullpen ranks No. 15 overall in the majors with a 3.89 ERA.

Dylan Bundy (4.35 ERA) is expected to pitch for the Orioles in his third start back from the disabled list. The O’s are 7-10 behind Bundy this year for a loss of 3.64 units, including back-to-back drubbings since his return from a sprained left ankle. Bundy was pulled early in both those losses, leaving Baltimore’s No. 20-ranked bullpen (4.32 ERA) to clean up after him.




MLB Odds: Jays Host Baltimore to Start Second Half


Their hopes are slim heading into the unofficial second half of the regular season, but at least the Toronto Blue Jays (43-52, minus-8.64 betting units) get to host the last-place Baltimore Orioles (28-69, minus-37.16 units) this Friday in their first game back from the All-Star break. Sportsnet has the coverage beginning at 7:07 PM ET.


Sam Gaviglio (4.58 ERA) is penciled in for Toronto opposite Dylan Bundy (4.35 ERA), who got hammered in his last two starts after going on the disabled list with a sprained left ankle. The 25-year-old northpaw hopes the All-Star break will strengthen his planting foot.
