Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles became a seller, trading Trey Mancini to the Houston Astros and Jorge Lopez to Minnesota. However, losing such important performers has not impacted Baltimore's results. The team has won five of its six games. First, the Orioles beat Texas (7-2, 8-2, 6-3) away and then took 2 out of 3 games against Pittsburgh (1-0, 6-3, 1-8). Baltimore continues their pursuit of the wild-card zone in the American League and is currently two wins behind the top 6.

Jordan Lyles will pitch for the Orioles in the first game of a crucial series with Toronto, 8-8, and has a 4.40 ERA in 22 starts this season.

Toronto Blue Jays

On the eve of the trip to Baltimore, the team visited the Twins in Minneapolis and managed to win only two games out of 4 - 9:3, 5:6, 3:7, and 3:2. Moreover, in the final match, Toronto managed to win only in extra innings. The Blue Jays are in second place in the American League East Division standings and are still in the wild-card zone with a handicap of 4 wins.

Yusei Kikuchi will pitch for Toronto in the upcoming game, 4-5, with a 4.86 ERA in 18 games this season.

Expert Betting Tips

Baltimore has one of the best relievers in the league. Cionel Perez is conceding just 1.15; Felix Bautista - 1.77; Dillon Tate - 2.28. Moreover, none of them were on the field in the previous game. The Blue Jays had a tough road series with Minnesota, while the Orioles were playing on the home field against the season's underdog Pittsburgh. In the series' first game, it looks like Baltimore has a good chance of success.
