Orioles vs. Blue Jays Best MLB Prop Bets
Blue Jays Best MLB Prop Bet
- Alejandro Kirk OVER 0.5 Singles (-133)
Betting on a player to hit a single may not be the most exciting thing in the world, but it’s been plenty profitable for Alejandro Kirk. The Blue Jays catcher has hit 50 singles in 239 at-bats (20.9%) this season, with at least one single in two-thirds of his 68 games.
Kirk has a single in five straight games, nine of 10, and 17 of his last 19 contests overall.
Orioles vs. Blue Jays Prediction and Pick
This should be a playoff-like atmosphere in Toronto tonight, with both teams looking to gain ground in the AL Wild Card race.
Bassitt and Scherzer have both been solid as of late, and I expect that to continue tonight in Toronto. With so much on the line, we should see a low-scoring game north of the border.
It doesn’t hurt that both of these offenses have been struggling a bit recently.
Pick: UNDER 8 (-113)
