The Toronto Blue Jays are slowly starting to slip behind the rest of the American League East teams in their quest to win a division crown. What once looked to be a four-team race has now been reduced to three unless the Blue Jays can really get something going after the All-Star break. The Orioles, on the other hand, have pretty much been out of the race from day one, as they have struggled to put a quality product on the field the entire season. In order for the Orioles to pull a win off in their game against the Blue Jays, they are going to have to play some of their best baseball of the season because the Blue Jays are definitely not pushovers. Since they are on the road, however, and should be getting a pretty good price, bookmakersonlinebetting.com suggests taking the Blue Jays for the free bet win.
Toronto has really been mashing the ball all over the field in the past couple of weeks, with multiple players now in double figure home run totals. Jose Bautista leads all of baseball with 24 home runs, and Vernon Wells is up to 19. Bautista, however, is struggling to put much together beyond those 24 homers, as he is only hitting .240 and striking out regularly. John Buck has been good as the catcher/DH for Toronto, which is something that the Blue Jays probably didn't expect but aren't too upset about. It won't be the prettiest win that they will have all year, but expect Toronto to win you some free wager cash on Saturday night.
If the Orioles could get some decent, quality starting pitching, they probably would have won at least 10-15 more games so far this season. Their starters have been bad, however, and it has translated to the poor on-field performance that has marked the entire season so far for the Orioles. Jeremy Guthrie and Brian Matusz were both thought to be Baltimore's stud pitchers before the season started, but neither has done much of anything, as they both are straddling the line of going over the 5.00 ERA mark. They've gotten some good hitting from guys like Miguel Tejada, Adam Jones, and Nick Markakis. There has been some improvements in this area over the course of the season, which has to make the Orioles front office at least a little happy looking to next year. Still, Baltimore is no match for the Toronto Blue Jays, which translates into Toronto winning the free bet against the struggling O's.
It has been another season and another big disappointment for both of these teams. Toronto had high hopes of competing with the Yankees and Red Sox, but instead have been relegated to a permanent spot in fourth place in the American League East. Baltimore seemed to have improved over the course of the last couple of seasons, but they have digressed into mediocrity again, which isn't boding too well for the team's bottom line. While bettors probably won't be jumping to get on this game, bookmakersonlinebetting.com feels there is value with the Blue Jays as the free wager selection in their road game against Baltimore.
