Orioles vs. Blue Jays: Game 3 Predictions, Odds and Picks - July 30, MLB 2024
The Baltimore Orioles will look to split the series as they take on the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3. Baltimore has scored 15 runs in the last two games but failed to succeed in the second game of the doubleheader, with Toronto winning 8-4.
The O's will hope to pick up their pace to maintain their lead in the AL East Division, as the New York Yankees are just half a game behind and could overtake them at any moment.
Corbin Burnes will take the mound for the O's, aiming for a win. Burnes has been spectacular for his team this season with a 10-4 record and a strong 2.45 ERA. Baltimore has been successful with fewer runs when Burnes starts.
The Blue Jays have been struggling to make ends meet this season. Opponent Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and other top offensive players might get to play in the postseason as Toronto's struggle continues. The Blue Jays are 13 games behind the O's in the AL East.
Chris Bassitt will be up against Burnes as Toronto's starter in Game 3. He has an 8-9 record with a 3.78 ERA. Bassitt did not get the right support from the plate in some starts and the Toronto Blue Jays must back him up if they want to win.

Orioles vs. Blue Jays Prediction
Bassitt is a talented pitcher but Burnes has been incredible since the start of the season. The moment Burnes wore Toronto's uniform, there has been significant success on the mound.
The offense will also play a crucial role in Game 3. Toronto holds the key with its offense leading the MLB with 167 home runs. The Blue Jays have 100 home runs and are ranked No. 26. Thus, the O's have a better shot at winning this game.
Prediction: Baltimore Orioles -1.5 (-225)
