Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays
The closing matchup of a four game series is the baseball betting focus as Toronto Blue Jays host Baltimore Orioles Sunday afternnon at Rogers Center.
According to the current betting odds the Blue Jays enter this contest as -$1.60 to -$1.70 home favorites depending on locale.
Righthander Aaron Sanchez will toe the rubber for John Gibbons' squad, bringing a 5-1 record to the hill with a 2.91 ERA. In his last outing, Sanchez tagged with a no-decision limited Tigers to 2 runs while stiking out a career-high 12 as Jays fell 3-2 in extras. Sanchez will be matching pitches with Orioles righthander Ubaldo Jimenez carrying a 3-6 record, 6.21 ERA. Jimenez snapping a three game skid in his last start gave up one run on nine hits in five-plus innings in Orioles 9-1 victory over Royals.
The presence of today's starters bodes well for Toronto. Sanchez allowing three runs or fewer in 6 of his last 8 starts has won three straight in front of the home audience. On the other side, the Orioles have had issues the last five times the team found itself on the road handing the ball to Jimenez, dropping all five contests outscored 30-9. Additionally, Jimenez starting on the road following a team loss the previous day has been bad news for Baltimore. In the last 13 such situations the Orioles are 2-11. Finally, in road daylight games, Orioles are 0-6 with Jimenez..
