The Toronto Blue Jays will play the Baltimore Orioles in a double header on Monday at Camden Yards.
The Toronto Blue Jays are 73-59 this season and have won five of their last six games. Toronto is coming off of a series win against Pittsburgh, where they won all three games played in the series. The Toronto pitching staff has a 3.86 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, and a .248 opponent batting average this season. The Blue Jays offense has scored 612 runs with a .259 batting average and a .325 on base percentage. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is batting .280 with 27 home runs and 80 RBI’s for the Blue Jays this season. The projected starter for Toronto in Game 1 is Jose Berrios, who is 9-5 with a 5.32 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP over 140.1 innings pitched this season. The projected starter in Game 2 for Toronto is Kevin Gausman, who is 10-9 with a 3.14 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP over 140.1 innings pitched this season.
The Baltimore Orioles are 71-62 this season and have won four of their last five games. Baltimore is coming off of a series win against Oakland, where they won two out of the three games played in the series. The Baltimore pitching staff has a 3.77 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, and a .253 opponent batting average. The Orioles offense has scored 559 runs with a .236 batting average and a .304 on base percentage this year. Anthony Santander is batting .257 with 25 home runs and 75 RBI’s for the Orioles this season. The projected starter in Game 1 for Baltimore is Jordan Lyles, who is 10-9 with a 4.25 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP over 152.1 innings pitched this season. The projected starter in Game 2 for Baltimore is Mike Baumann, who is 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP over 12 innings pitched this season.
These two teams come into this four game series fighting for the final wild card spot in the AL. Toronto currently holds a 2.5 game lead over Baltimore. Both of these teams are playing well right now, which is going to make for a very entertaining series. I like Baltimore to get the win in Game 1 and Toronto to get the win in Game 2.
