Xam’s Daily Gem:
Orioles Money Line -125 DraftKings
The Orioles turn to Kyle Bradish in the final game of the now 2 game series against the Blue Jays. Bradish got a late start to the season, but he’s been great in 2 starts this year, turning in a 1.86 ERA. Throughout his early career, he’s been solid at Camden Yards, with a 3.43 career home ERA. Chris Bassitt was scheduled to make the start today. He’s gotten off to a terrible start this year, coming into play with a 5.06 ERA. He’s been worse on the road than at home, but he’s been equally ineffective regardless of where he’s pitched. However, there seems to be some uncertainty in who Toronto will start today. They may turn to southpaw Yusei Kikuchi in this game. He has had a better start to the year with a 2.64 ERA. However, for his career, he has a 4.57 ERA, so there SHOULD be some negative regression coming. However, it doesn’t really matter who makes the start for Toronto. The Orioles have the edge in starting pitching, they have the better lineup, AND their elite bullpen is fully rested after having yesterday off. The Orioles are off tomorrow as well, so manager Brandon Hyde SHOULD have everyone at his disposal. The Orioles are a very good hitting team and the Blue Jays just haven’t gotten their bats going yet.
