Rookie left-hander Ryan Borucki (4.12 ERA) is projected to start for Toronto. Borucki is up 2.96 units on a team record of 6-5, including five wins in his last six games, but the Illinois native has been strangely inconsistent – the Over is 5-1 when the Jays win, while the Under is 4-1 when they lose. He began the year as Toronto’s No. 8-ranked prospect, pairing a pedestrian fastball with an occasionally baffling change-up.
Alex Cobb (5.00 ERA) is next in line for the Orioles. The veteran northpaw is in his first year with Baltimore after spending over a decade in the Tampa Bay Rays organization. It’s been a rough welcome; the O’s are 5-19 behind Cobb for a loss of 11.61 units, providing just 3.58 runs per game in support. Only Houston’s Justin Verlander and Cincinnati’s Homer Bailey have fared worse against the baseball odds this year.
MLB Odds: Borucki Gets the Nod in Baltimore
The Toronto Blue Jays (60-70, minus-8.06 betting units) will send first-year southpaw Ryan Borucki to the mound this Wednesday when they visit Alex Cobb and the Baltimore Orioles (37-94, minus-49.12 units). First pitch is at 7:05 PM ET on Sportsnet.
Borucki (4.12 ERA), Toronto’s No. 8-ranked prospect in 2018, has the Jays up 2.96 units on a record of 6-5 in his rookie campaign. Cobb (5.00 ERA), the veteran right-hander, has regressed since leaving the Tampa Bay Rays as a free agent, leading the O’s to a 5-19 record and 11.61 units of red ink.
