ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON OVER the Total - Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays, Friday at 6:37 PM ET
The Blue Jays clinched a playoff spot with a win last night but they can still improve their playoff positioning so we expect their normal lineup tonight against an Orioles team that has been relegated to playing the role of spoiler. However, when you don't have playoff pressure on you it oftentimes brings out the best in a lineup and Baltimore erupted for 13 runs in their win at Boston last night. The Blue Jays have been playing their home games in Buffalo this season and Sahlen Field has played out as a very hitter friendly ballpark. It will be another mild evening in upstate NY tonight and the bats should rule in this one after a rare low-scoring game here last night (4-1) when the Jays hosted the Yankees. This total opened up at a 10 and has moved down to a 9.5 which has led to even more line value with the over in this one. We are not really concerned with whom the starting pitchers are in this match-up as we do expect to see plenty of bullpen from each team in this one. But the Orioles slated starter is Jorge Lopez and he is facing a surging Blue Jays team that enters this game having won 4 of 5 games and scoring an average of 7.2 runs per game in those contests. Lopez has an 8.18 ERA in his 4 road appearances this season. The Blue Jays are starting Taijuan Walker and he is off a strong start but it came against a quickly fading Phillies team. Prior to that outing Walker was hit hard in his prior start and he had major issues with command of his pitches in the start that preceded that one. He has a low ERA but has not pitched as well at that ERA would indicate. Just recently Walker got rocked by the Yankees but was only charged with 1 earned run. The Orioles faced him about 4 weeks ago and the 2nd look likely improves the results especially after last night's blowout win at Fenway Park. This one has the makings of a slugfest at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, NY. Bet the OVER in the Blue Jays game in early evening action Friday.
