Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction 

Baltimore comes into this game looking for a much needed series win, as they continue to battle the Yankees in the AL East. The Orioles are 33-25 at home this year, while the Blue Jays are 24-30 on the road. Baltimore is currently leading the AL East by a half game, but they haven’t played very well over the last few weeks. Toronto is dead last in the division and they don’t have a set plan for pitching in this game, so make sure you check their probable pitcher closer to game time. We know Grayson Rodriguez will get the ball for the Orioles and he has been pretty solid so far this season. Baltimore is a big favorite in this game and I think they will roll to the victory. My Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles prediction is for the Orioles to win by at least two two runs. 

David Racey's Pick: Orioles -1.5
