Free Pick
(MLB) Baltimore vs. Toronto, 04/22/2015 3:07 PM, Score: 2 - 4
Total: 8.50 | -113.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a Free #MLB play on BAL@TOR to go OVER the total.

The Blue Jays will host the Orioles in Game 2 of a three game set at Rogers Center Wednesday, and they won the series opener by a score of 13-6. Both these teams have plenty of heavy hitters, and neither team has a reliable bullpen. I think we'll see another slugfest in Toronto tonight.

Ubaldo Jimenez will toe the slab for the Orioles, and he's yet to concede a run this season. Jimenez (1-0, 0.00 ERA) has only surrendered one hit, while striking out 10 over 10 2/3 innings in two appearances this season. He wasn't that sharp against Toronto last season, going 1-2 with a 4.67 ERA in three starts.

The Jays will hand the ball to rookie Aaron Sanchez, who's been hit hard so far. Sanchez (0-2, 6.23 ERA) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings in a loss to Tampa his last time out. Prior to that he was torched by the Orioles in Baltimore, surrendering three runs on seven hits, including a pair of home runs over just 3 1/3 innings.

If the Orioles can't get to Sanchez, they might have better luck against Toronto's bullpen. They scored three of their six runs last night against the Jays relievers. Only Tampa Bay's relief pitchers have surrendered more runs than Baltimore, who's bullpen is among the worst in the majors.

Take OVER.
