Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction 

Baltimore has been one of the top teams in the MLB so far this season, but they have lost two games in a row. The Orioles are 14-9 at home this year, while Toronto is 10-13 on the road. The Blue Jays have not been able to string many wins together so far this season and they will turn to Chris Bassitt, who does not have very good numbers this year. The Orioles will start Kyle Bradish, who has only made two starts so far this season. Toronto has really had trouble winning more than one game at a time and I can’t take them to win a second game in a row here. I think Bradish has another solid outing and my Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays prediction is for Baltimore to win.
