Grayson Rodriguez is scheduled to make this start for the Baltimore Orioles. Rodriguez is 23 years old and in his first season in Major League Baseball. Rodriguez has made 13 starts this season, going 62.1 innings, allowing 71 hits and 43 earned runs. Baltimore has won his last two starts.
The Orioles picked up a starter pitcher at the trade deadline. Jack Flaherty was picked up from St. Louis and will fit into the Orioles rotation, but it’s unknown what day he will start. The Orioles need a starting pitcher to be solid for them, as they have a 4.15 earned run average as a staff.
The offense for the Orioles rank in the Top 10 in runs scored. Austin Hays is the top hitter with a .284 batting average, while Anthony Santander has crushed 19 home runs and drove in 62 runs. Santander hit a home run and drove in 4 in the win on Tuesday.
Gunnar Henderson also drove in four in the win. The Orioles will come home and host the Mets and Astros, before heading out on the road to take on the Mariners, Padres, and Athletics.
For Toronto, Yusei Kikuchi will get the baseball. The 32-year-old from Japan is 8-3 on the season and holds a 3.79 earned run average. Kikuchi has struck out 116 batters this season, in 109.1 innings. His last start was six innings against the Dodgers, where he struck out 8 batters. Kikuchi has struck out 20 batters over the last 16 innings.
Toronto also got new players from the St. Louis Cardinals. The Blue Jays and St. Louis made three trades, and picked up Genesis Cabrera and Jordan Hicks to assist in the bullpen, as well as then grabbed shortstop Paul Dejong. Dejong should fill in for Bo Bichette while he recovers from injury.
The Blue Jays are led in offense by Vladimir Guerrero, with his 17 home runs and 66 runs batted in. Toronto is 5th in batting average, with a .261 batting average, while 8th in on base, at .331. Danny Jansen hit his 15th, and Branden Belt his 9th in the loss on Tuesday. When making Blue Jays predictions, keep in mind this offense is without Bo Bichette.
The Orioles are just red-hot right now. Baltimore seems to have all the momentum. The Orioles look like the team to beat out of the American League East. Texas and Houston appear to be the biggest threats to the AL title.
Look for the Orioles to continue playing well, and score a bunch of runs in this game. We are taking the Baltimore Orioles +102, and the OVER 8.5 runs for this game on Wednesday. Those are our Orioles vs. Blue Jays best bets.
