Blue Jays vs. Orioles Game 2 picks and odds: Pitching edge should help O’s in doubleheader

The Blue Jays and Orioles are playing a doubleheader at Camden Yards on Monday.

Toronto entered the day with a 2.5-game lead on the Orioles for the final wild-card spot. The teams will still play each other eight more times in the regular season.

Orioles have a pitching edge in Game 1. Berrios and Lyles must start for the O's.

Jose Berrios and Jordan Lyles are going to start the doubleheader. Lyle didn't start Game 1 because he didn’t feel well. The Orioles have won Lyls” past six home starts. If the game is close in the late innings, the Orioles‘ bullpen has the edge. The Blue Jays have Jordan Romano and Anthony Bass who have pitched on consecutive days.

Orioles have fallen under 8.5 runs in 13 of their past 14 games. The team has hit the over in most of the meetings this year, but they've gone under in the past two.

Orioles have a better pitching and are favored to win. Lyles has held the Jays scoreless through the first two innings of both of his starts against them in 2022.
