Run total: 8.5
Moneyline odds: Blue Jays -110, Orioles -110

Moneyline pick: Orioles -110

Bradish’s season-long numbers are very deceiving because he has figured this thing out in his rookie year. He got off to a rough start over his first couple months, but Bradish did not allow a run in either of his last two starts and just four hits over 15 innings of work. On the other side, White allowed 13 runs over his last two starts in 9.2 innings of work. Let’s go with the home team to pick up a win.

Player prop pick: Mitch White over 3.5 strikeouts (-110)

The Blue Jays starter has a 7.6 K/9 this season, and he has a strong strikeout matchup against an Orioles lineup that strikes out 8.6 times per game, which is the 12th most in the league. Despite his recent struggles, White struck out five hitters in each of his last three outings.
