The betting odds for this game are currently set as TBD. However, given the Orioles’ impressive record this season, they could likely enter as favorites. Bettors should keep an eye on the odds as they solidify closer to game time for potential value bets.

Grayson Rodriguez (5-2, 3.53 ERA) vs. Kevin Gausman (4-3, 4.14 ERA)

Grayson Rodriguez was also pretty good for the Orioles this season; he has a 3.53 ERA and pitched 51 innings while getting 61 strikeouts. The best proof of his ability to control the game and avoid issuing walks should only be 21 this season demonstrating the efficiency of the sporting performer using the mound. The latest trend shows a very slight weakness of Rodriguez for the power factor after he has yielded 5 home runs and this kind of hitters might not hold well against the Jays’ sluggers.

On the other side, Kevin Gausman for Toronto has a 4.14 ERA with 56 strikeouts over 54.1 innings. While Gausman has a higher ERA and WHIP 1.36 than Rodriguez, he has displayed rather good control for a starter with only 14 walks given. His pitching will be crucial considering the strong and highly successful in turning mistakes into runs for the Orioles squad this year.

Orioles’ Offensive Power: A Key Advantage

The Orioles have shown considerable strength at the plate this season with a .243 batting average and 79 home runs. Their slugging percentage of .435 and on-base percentage of .304, though modest, are bolstered by their ability to convert hits into runs, scoring 272 runs so far. Their aggressive batting could be a significant challenge for Gausman, especially if the Orioles’ lineup can exploit any inconsistency in his pitching.

Blue Jays’ Struggle for Consistency

Toronto’s lineup has been less explosive, with a .236 batting average and only 49 home runs. While their on-base percentage of .316 is higher than the Orioles’, their slugging at .376 shows a lack of the same power hitting. This could be a disadvantage in trying to keep pace with Baltimore’s more dynamic offense. The Blue Jays will need to leverage their slightly better ability to get on base and hope their pitching can limit the Orioles’ scoring.
