Kenny G highlighted a promising bounce-back scenario for Jose Berrios against Baltimore, noting his improved form following a disastrous start against the Orioles earlier this year. Berrios recently pitched superbly at Boston, delivering seven innings of one-run ball, reflecting steady improvements start-to-start. While wary of Toronto's bullpen struggles (4.25 ERA), Kenny recommended considering Toronto specifically as a first five innings play rather than full-game bets to avoid bullpen risk. This recommendation reflects confidence in Berrios carrying forward his positive momentum early in this matchup.

Kingpin recommends backing Jose Berrios as an underdog play against the Orioles, highlighting Berrios' historical dominance against Baltimore. He holds an impressive career record of 10-2 with a 3.31 ERA against the Orioles and is coming off an excellent performance with 7 innings of 1-run ball versus Boston. The Orioles starter Cade Povich has struggled historically against Toronto (0-2 with an 8.38 ERA). Kingpin believes the right-handed-heavy Jays lineup and Berrios' strong history against Baltimore set him up for success today.

Kyle Purviance made it clear that if Jose Berrios starts against the Orioles, bettors should immediately target the Orioles moneyline or at least consider betting the game over. He recalled that Berrios was shelled badly by the Orioles earlier this season, calling out Berrios' consistently poor performances against Baltimore and his general struggles as key reasons for the advice.

Eric Lindquist recommends betting on the Nationals moneyline at +135 against Jose Berrios and the Blue Jays. Lindquist highlighted Berrios' concerning start to the season, mentioning he surrendered six earned runs on nine hits and two walks over just five innings on Opening Day. Lindquist referenced Berrios' historical inconsistencies as reason to target against him. Despite Trevor Williams of the Nationals having unsustainable peripheral numbers (an elite 277 xWOBA but low whiff percentage), Lindquist prefers betting on Williams and the Nationals against Berrios given the attractive plus-money odds, believing the volatility from Berrios justifies this risk.

Eric Lindquist recommended targeting runs anytime Jose Berrios takes the mound, which indicates skepticism about Berrios' effectiveness. Given Berrios' past volatility and struggles, Lindquist implied that betting the over on total runs scored could be profitable in the matchup between the Nationals and Blue Jays.

Brian Howard liked Jose Berrios' potential to surpass his strikeout prop against the Nationals, who have been struggling excessively with strikeouts. Coming into the discussion, the Nationals were averaging 13 strikeouts per game recently, though they only had 9 that particular day. Howard mentioned that despite Berrios' rough start previously against Baltimore, he remains a pitcher equipped with legitimate strikeout capability. Howard speculated that the line will likely open around 5.5 or 6.5 strikeouts, indicating he would comfortably bet at 5.5 and may also consider 6.5 if priced correctly. He's bullish on Berrios' ability to rebound and exploit Washington's strikeout issues but advises caution if the line is higher.
