Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays Picks and Predictions
The Baltimore Orioles travel north to face the Toronto Blue Jays in a series that feels like October baseball. Baltimore has won nine of its last 11 games, while Toronto holds a three-game AL East lead with playoff hopes rising.
The Orioles Can Win If…
Baltimore eked out a 3-2 win against Pittsburgh behind Cade Povich’s steady pitching and timely hits from Jackson Holliday and Gunnar Henderson. The Orioles rank 10th in both home runs and doubles, showing their ability to create extra-base damage.
Trevor Rogers (1.51 ERA, 0.87 WHIP) will get the ball. His elite command makes him a weapon against Toronto’s high-contact lineup. If Baltimore’s bullpen—ranked top three in limiting blown saves—remains sharp, the Orioles have a solid chance to keep rolling.

The Blue Jays Can Win If…
Toronto is fresh off a dominant 6-0 shutout of Houston behind Kevin Gausman’s complete-game gem. Their offense is the league’s best by batting average (.268) and on-base percentage (.335), with a top-four slugging percentage at .432. Players like Davis Schneider and Daulton Varsho continue to supply big swings, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. remains the anchor.
Chris Bassitt (11-8, 3.97 ERA) takes the mound, and while his career numbers against Baltimore are shaky, his strikeout consistency (top five in MLB) gives Toronto confidence. If Bassitt delivers quality innings and the lineup continues its patient approach, the Jays should hold serve at home.
