<h2>Betting Baltimore Orioles (38-20 SU, 32-26 ATS, 28-22-8 o/u)</h2>
<p>Outfielder Austin Hays was the unlikely hero for the Orioles on Monday, swatting his first two home runs of the season while collecting three RBIs hitting out of the No. 8 spot in the lineup. In fact, the bottom third of the order did most of the damage in the series opener, combining for four hits and five RBIs. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not all good news for the Orioles, though, who revealed left-hander John Means underwent his second Tommy John surgery on Monday. He&#8217;ll be out for the remainder of the season and likely most of next season as the typical timeline for recovery is 12-18 months for the procedure. Means burst onto the scene in 2019, earning his first and only All-Star nod. The Orioles were optimistic he could be a key part of their rotation for a deep playoff run this year. However, the team boasts the most impressive stable of prospects in baseball and has the necessary pieces to trade for a front-end starter prior to July&#8217;s deadline, if needed.</p>
<h2>Betting Toronto Blue Jays (28-31 SU, 29-30 ATS, 26-32-1 o/u)</h2>
<p>The Blue Jays just can&#8217;t seem to put things together offensively on a consistent basis, with the team struggling to put runs on the board again Monday. They&#8217;re averaging just 3.9 runs per game (24th in the majors) while ranking in the back half of baseball in team batting average (.234 &#8211; 19th), slugging percentage (.372 &#8211; 21st), OPS (.684 &#8211; 19th) and home runs (51 &#8211; 25th).</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, they can&#8217;t point the finger at Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who launched his sixth homer of the campaign on Monday as part of a two-hit performance. He&#8217;s slashing a blistering .381/.469/.515 over the last 30 days and boasts a career .316 batting average with 23 homers and 57 RBIs against the Orioles.</p>
<p>Toronto will be hard-pressed to turn things around offensively on Tuesday against Baltimore starter Corbin Burnes, a legitimate Cy Young contender in the AL.</p>
<h2>Probable starting pitchers</h2>
<p><strong>Baltimore:</strong> RHP Corbin Burnes (5-2, 2.35 ERA, 8.79 K/9, 1.05 WHIP)</p>
<p>Burnes has the second-shortest American League Cy Young Award odds (+450) behind Detroit&#8217;s Tarik Skubal for a good reason. The right-hander has been a model of consistency in his first season in the AL, surrendering three earned runs or fewer in all of his 12 starts. He&#8217;s coming off an 11-strikeout performance against the Los Angeles Angels last week and he threw six innings of one-run ball against Toronto back on May 13 at Camden Yards but managed just two strikeouts. Burnes is a truly elite ace.</p>
<p><strong>Toronto:</strong> TBD</p>
<p>The Blue Jays have not yet formally announced a starting pitcher for Tuesday night, but there&#8217;s speculation Bowden Francis is likely to be activated off the injured list to make the start after missing time with a forearm issue. </p>
<h2>Weather</h2>
<p>The retractable dome at Rogers Centre should be open Tuesday night. Forecasts are calling for temperatures around 23 C and clear skies. Winds will be light, blowing from left field to right field at 8 mph.</p>
<h2>MLB betting trends</h2>
<ul>
<li>The Blue Jays have played over the total in three straight games.</li>
<li>Baltimore has won 19 straight series against AL East opponents.</li>
<li>The Orioles have played over the first five innings team total in 12 of their last 17 games.</li>
<li>Toronto has not scored a run in the first inning in a franchise-record 25 straight games.</li>
</ul>
<h2>MLB player prop trends</h2>
<ul>
<li>Burnes has recorded 18 outs or more in seven straight starts. He&#8217;s -180 to record over 17.5 outs.</li>
<li>Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander will carry a six-game hitting streak into action Tuesday. He&#8217;s -225 to get a hit and +105 to record over 1.5 total bases. He went deep Monday as part of a two-hit performance.</li>
<li>Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho is on a nice run in the hits + runs + RBIs category, cashing over 0.5 in eight of his last 10 games and at a 67% rate overall this season. He&#8217;s -170 to accomplish the feat on Tuesday.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Orioles vs. Blue Jays predictions</h2>
<ul>
<li>NRFI (no run first inning): -120. As previously stated, the Blue Jays haven&#8217;t scored a run in the first inning in 25 straight games! And they&#8217;ll be squaring off against one of the top pitchers in the league on Tuesday. The Orioles are also slow starters, posting a 44-14 NRFI record (76%) to this point in the season.</li>
<li>Orioles runline -1.5: -105. There&#8217;s a huge starting pitching mismatch in this game and Toronto will surely be rolling out a plethora of relievers, which isn&#8217;t a good thing considering the team&#8217;s 4.54 bullpen ERA (27th in the majors). Blue Jays relievers have coughed up the most run home runs in baseball (34) which also doesn&#8217;t bode well against an Orioles team that has smashed 88 homers (second in the majors) this season.</li>
