Toronto continued its domination of the Baltimore Orioles with a decisive 6-0 win as -176 home chalk on Wednesday, and takes its first three-game win streak in three weeks into Friday night’s
The Orioles’ arrival proved once again to be a tonic for the Blue Jays, who had dropped four straight, and 10 of 14, prior to their third straight sweep of last-place Baltimore.
The Blue Jays’ continued success against Baltimore has also helped them shake a dismal run on home turf. Toronto has allowed just six total runs while winning four straight at Rogers Centre. That puts the brakes on an eight-game slide, during which the club tallied just one win while surrendering a worrisome 7.5 runs per game.
Toronto hitters also rediscovered their touch at the plate during the sweep of the Orioles, outscoring Baltimore by a 19-5 margin, but saw the OVER prevail just once in totals betting during the series, Blue Whale Line Drawing
The UNDER is now 5-1 in Toronto’s past six at home, a trend that comes in stark contrast to the team’s performance on the road, where the OVER has gone 13-4 in their past 17.

The Blue Jays took two of three in a visit to Philadelphia back in late May, with two of those contests settled by a single run. However, Toronto has largely dominated the Phillies in interleague matchups in recent years. The Blue Jays are 15-4 in 19 dates since July 2011, and have scored six or more runs seven times while going 8-2 at home during that stretch.
The Phillies travel to Toronto as -120 favourites after avoiding a three-game sweep in Washington with a 2-0 victory as +143 underdogs.
