Prediction published on 7/31/24, 11:22 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/31/24 at 11:35 AM in MLB Picks

With a slender 4-0 lead in the third inning yesterday against the Blue Jays, the Orioles would go on to win the game 6-2 in a much-needed victory that puts them back in first place in the American East.

The Blue Jays have been one of the teams that has shed players the most and are thinking much more about the future than doing anything this season. For many, it was a surprise that Kiermaier left, Kikuchi was also a trade piece and Justin Turner was acquired by the Mariners.

For many, the Orioles were the main winner in the mid-season trade market. The new management did not hesitate to take risks in order to take this team to a World Series. Elflin, from the Rays, was the pitcher that all the teams wanted but it was the Orioles who made the best offer.

Rodriguez, with one of the best records in the MLB, is 12-4 and has pitched at least 5 innings in each of his last 14 starts. He has 122 strikeouts and is 7 away from surpassing the 129 he achieved in his rookie season. On June 3, he pitched 6.2 innings against the Blue Jays and allowed one earned run and took the W.
