Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction – 4/12/2025

Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles Betting Preview

On April 12, 2025, the Baltimore Orioles will host the Toronto Blue Jays at Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the second game of their series. The Orioles currently sit at 5-8 this season, struggling to find their footing and coming off a disappointing start. In contrast, the Blue Jays are riding a wave of momentum with an 8-6 record, showcasing a stronger lineup and better overall performance.

Cade Povich is projected to take the mound for the Orioles, but he has been less than impressive, ranking as the 136th best starting pitcher in MLB. His projections suggest he will pitch an average of 5.3 innings while allowing 2.4 earned runs, but his tendency to give up 4.9 hits and 2.0 walks makes him a concern against a potent Blue Jays offense. Povich's below-average strikeout rate of 4.4 per game adds to the pressure he will face.

On the other side, Jose Berrios is slated to start for the Blue Jays. Despite also being considered a below-average pitcher, he enters this matchup projected to pitch 5.6 innings and allow 2.9 earned runs. Berrios's ability to limit walks, projected at just 1.9, could prove advantageous against the struggling Orioles lineup.

Given the current form of both teams, the Blue Jays look poised to capitalize on the Orioles' struggles, making them the preferred choice for bettors looking to back a winning side in this matchup.

Quick Takes Toronto Blue Jays:

Jose Berrios has added a slider to his repertoire this year and has utilized it 29.7% of the time.

• Adding an extra pitch often leads to more success because it makes the pitcher more unpredictable and keeps hitters guessing more, and change-ups are one of the most effective pitches to use.

Quick Takes Baltimore Orioles:

In his last start, Cade Povich was rolling and put up 8 strikeouts.

• A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.

The Baltimore Orioles bullpen grades out as the 6th-best in Major League Baseball, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).

• Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game's runs.
