The Toronto Blue Jays (30-34) host the Baltimore Orioles (31-33) this afternoon with first pitch set for 1:37 PM Eastern. The MLB weather forecast is calling for ideal conditions, paving the way for the roof to be open at Rogers Centre.
Online sportsbooks are siding with the Blue Jays in the latest MLB odds, as they look to build momentum after securing a 6-4 victory in yesterday’s matchup. Toronto’s offense was fueled by Ernie Clement, who smacked a three-run home run that proved to be the difference.
With the series deadlocked at 1, I’m predicting the Blue Jays will take the rubber match. Keep reading to find out why, plus see the best predictions and player prop picks for the Orioles vs Blue Jays matchup on June 7, below.

My favorite bet when examining the pitching disparity between these two starting rotations is the Toronto moneyline. The Blue Jays hand the ball to right-hander Kevin Gausman, who provides a steady presence. Over 75.0 innings, Gausman boasts a 3.36 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. The Orioles counter with Shane Baz, who enters this contest carrying a 4.29 ERA and an elevated 1.37 WHIP across 71.1 innings.
Shane Baz vs Kevin Gausman Stats
The pitching advantage extends into the late innings according to the MLB starting lineups. The bullpen for the Orioles has struggled to close the door cleanly, posting a combined 4.64 relief ERA compared to a 4.01 mark for the Blue Jays. Given Gausman’s elite form and home-field advantage at the Rogers Centre, backing the Blue Jays moneyline is my top priority.
Orioles vs Blue Jays Stats
The Blue Jays are highly efficient at getting on base in their home ballpark, boasting a .249 batting average and a .719 OPS. This visibly outpaces the road metrics for the Orioles, who sit at a .230 average and .687 OPS. Led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr, the home lineup is well-positioned to exploit an opposing pitching staff that yields a 4.63 overall ERA.
However, when the Orioles make contact on the road, they hit the ball with authority. Their average exit velocity sits at 90.2 mph, dwarfing the 87.6 mph mark for the Blue Jays at home. This data suggests batted balls from the Orioles carry significant damage potential, firmly supporting my recommendation to back Pete Alonso’s total bases prop which I outline below.

I am also targeting the MLB props markets. Gausman Over 6.5 Strikeouts offers excellent standalone value. He currently averages 8.88 strikeouts per nine innings and works deep into his outings, logging 5.77 innings per start. His elite control remains intact, evidenced by a 1.87 BB/9 over his last 10 appearances.
For an offensive angle, Alonso Over 1.5 Total Bases presents a highly appealing option. The powerful first baseman has generated a .452 slugging percentage this year, racking up 13 home runs and 40 RBI. Even in a tough matchup against Gausman, Alonso’s ability to drive the ball for extra bases makes this plus-money prop a strong addition. Per the MLB batter vs pitcher stats, Alonso is a career .333 hitter against Gausman, with a home run and 4 RBI.
