Odds and Bets: Jays Open Set Against AL East Leading Orioles
Best Sports Bets August 22, 2023
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Baltimore Orioles
The Blue Jays head to Baltimore to open a three-game set against the AL East leading Orioles for a crucial divisional battle on Tuesday. The Jays have very little breathing room in the wildcard, just half a game behind the Mariners for that last spot.
The Orioles are back on home turf after a winning turn on the road, where they earned victories in two of their last three series.
Best Bet: Baltimore -122
They’ll be counting on the stellar recent play of Yusei Kikuchi. Kikuchi is currently at the top of his game, allowing just six total runs across his six starts since the All-Star Break. The Orioles will counter with rookie Grayson Rodriquez on the mound.
The challenge today is that the Orioles have had the Jays’ number all season – they’ve lost 4 out of the last 5 matchups with Baltimore.
Best Bet: Bet the Over
Minnesota Lynx vs. Dallas Wings
Dallas is currently on a three-game win streak while the Minnesota Lynx are coming into this one after a loss. The last time these two clubs met on July 12th, it was an absolute blowout – the Wings crushed the Lynx with a final score of 107-67.
The way the 2023 WNBA season is playing out right now, it’s really just a duel between the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty, with the Connecticut Sun comfortably holding the third best record. So while it’s hard to imagine any other teams as real contenders, the Dallas Wings are the leading the rest of the pack, and hold the 4th best record so far this season.
Best Bet: Dallas Wings -280
