Baltimore Orioles DFS SPIN
Anthony Santander finished 3-for-4 with a grand slam as the Orioles crushed the Blue Jays 13-3 on Tuesday. The slam off Nate Pearson was Santander’s second in 37 career plate appearances with the bases loaded. He got off to a slow start this year, but he has 17 homers and 51 RBI in 78 games since the beginning of May.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Santiago Espinal went 0-for-3 as the Blue Jays’ shortstop Tuesday against the Orioles. It’s the struggles of Espinal that led the Blue Jays to acquire Paul DeJong as an insurance policy Tuesday. A surprise All-Star in 2022, Espinal has hit just .224/.293/.309 while taking a backseat to Whit Merrifield this year. He has options remaining, so he could be sent to Triple-A at some point.

Orioles vs. Blue Jays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Rodriguez allowed three hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings Friday against the Yankees. It’s the third time in 13 major league starts that he’s gone without allowing a run, though it’s the first time it’s happened against a team other than the Tigers. On the other side, Kikuchi struck out eight in six innings to pitch the Blue Jays to an 8-1 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday. The left-hander allowed just one run on seven hits while walking two on 103 pitches. After a tremendous month of June, he came into today with a 4.66 ERA in four July starts, but this is the second straight dominant start for Kikuchi. On the season, he now has a 3.79 ERA and 116 strikeouts in 109 1/3 innings. Given the current form of both pitchers, I like the under tonight in Toronto.
