The Baltimore Orioles will play the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of their series at Rogers Centre on Tuesday night.

The Baltimore Orioles are 60-55 this season and have lost three of their last five games. Baltimore won Game 1 of this series by a score of 7-3 on Monday night. The Baltimore pitching staff has a 3.92 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and a .255 opponent batting average this season. The Orioles offense has scored 490 runs with a .238 batting average and a .306 on base percentage. Ryan Mountcastle is batting .253 with 16 home runs and 57 RBI’s for the Orioles this season. The projected starting pitcher for Baltimore is Dean Kremer, who is 4-4 with a 3.69 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP over 63.1 innings pitched this season.

The Toronto Blue Jays are 61-53 this season and have lost five of their last six games. Prior to losing Game 1 of this series, Toronto lost two out of three games played against the Guardians. The Toronto pitching staff has a 3.97 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, and a .249 opponent batting average. The Blue Jays offense has scored 536 runs with a .263 batting average and a .325 on base percentage this year. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is batting .284 with 24 home runs and 70 RBI’s for the Blue Jays this season. The projected starter for Toronto is Alek Manoah, who is 12-5 with a 2.56 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP over 137 innings pitched this season.

Baltimore is 5-0 in their last 5 Tuesday games and 25-11 in their last 36 games. The over is 9-0-2 in Baltimore’s last 11 game two’s of a series. Toronto is 1-5 in their last 6 games and 1-5 in their last 6 game two’s of a series. The under is 7-2 in Toronto’s last 9 home games. The over is 7-0-1 in these two teams last 8 head to head meetings in Toronto.

Baltimore has played great baseball over the last 5 weeks or so and finds themselves in the hunt for a wild card spot. Toronto has also been good this season, but has lost five of six. Toronto is starting Alek Manoah, who has allowed nine runs over his last 16.1 innings. For Baltimore, Dean Kremer has allowed 10 runs over his last 16.1 innings pitched. Both of these pitchers have given up some runs in their last few outings and I like this game to go over. The over has been hitting at a great clip with these two teams playing in Toronto.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
