The Orioles and Blue Jays have always been AL East opponents. However, it's been difficult to call it a rivalry in recent years. The O's have changed that narrative this season. They're now just 5 games behind the Jays and just 4.5 games out of a wildcard spot. The season series between these teams has been very streaky. The O's went on a run of winning 5 straight, and the Jays have won 4 of the last 5. With so much on the line, let's make this series opener a profitable one.

Let's take a closer look at each leg of our same game parlay.
Over 7.5 total runs (-215)
Given how streaky these teams have been against one another, we're going to focus on the total rather than the side. Orioles starter Jordan Lyles has done well enough to lead the team to wins over Toronto, but it hasn't been pretty. He allowed 4 runs to the Jays the first time he faced them, which was ultimately a 6-5 O's win. Similarly, his most recent outing against Toronto was a 7-4 Baltimore win. Lyles was also the starter for the O's 15-10 win of the Sox last month, and his most recent outing was a 17-4 loss to Boston. Now he faces George Springer, who has the 4th-most leadoff home runs in MLB history, and Bo Bichette, who has homered 7 times already this month.
