He should stay scorching against Morton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Baltimore&#8217;s 41-year-old righty is well past his prime and owns a 5.48 ERA and 1.54 WHIP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Morton&#8217;s 21st percentile walk rate isn&#8217;t ideal for a total bases prop, but Bichette only walks in 5.1% of his at-bats (11th percentile). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bichette&#8217;s eighth-percentile chase rate means he&#8217;s constantly looking to hit. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morton throws a curveball 39% of the time and a 4-seamer 30% of the time. Against right-handed pitching, Bichette is batting .357 against curveballs and .309 against 4-seamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Bichette is 8-1 against this line in his last nine games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"cacheembed:116385\">Embed: #116385<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/baseball\/mlb?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_mlb\">Full MLB betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/mlb-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\">MLB injury report<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/top-players\/hitting\/OPS-on-base_plus_slugging?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\">MLB stats &amp; standings<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rutschman over 0.5 RBI (+143):<\/strong> Rutschman was raking in June before getting injured, posting a .309\/.381\/.509 slash line with five RBI in 15 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The all-star catcher returned from a month-long absence on Monday and didn&#8217;t miss a beat. He went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Baltimore&#8217;s 11-4 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rutschman is slated to hit fifth for the Orioles in Game 1, which should be a great spot for run production against Lucas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lucas has a career 7.65 ERA and a 5.82 ERA across five appearances with Toronto this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The lefty hasn&#8217;t fared well with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons this year, either, posting a 5.35 ERA in 33.2 IP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rutschman is batting .288 against lefties this year, and slashed .329\/.390\/.512 against southpaws in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Blue Jays best bets made at 9:33 a.m. ET on 07\/29\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles meet for a doubleheader on Tuesday at Camden Yards.
