Orioles vs. Blue Jays NRFI/YRFI Prediction for Thursday
Both pitchers have had strong NRFI records this season, yet these lineups have multiple guys who can go yard in inning one. Kevin Gausman has had an up-and-down season and takes on an Orioles lineup that will roll out four lefties to start the game, all with over a .200 ISO against right-handed pitching. Toronto’s lineup isn’t as strong but Dean Kremer has struggled of late and allows a ton of hard-contact. Odds are set the same for both sides and we like a run in the first with these two lineups, especially Baltimore.
