Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction: An evenly contested encounter is expected

Rogers Centre will host the four-game series finale between the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles Blue Jays won the last game of this series and will hope for a similar result here. Can the Orioles pick a win here?

Toronto Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays showed character in game 3 of this encounter earlier today, securing a 3-2 win. However, it is not all over for this team, as they will now hope for a split win, having lost game one and game 2. In this series, the Toronto Blue Jays have scored six runs while conceding 19. 

On the mound in this finale, the Toronto Blue Jays will send Yusei Kikuchi. Kikuchi has a 2-5 record this season in his starts, with a 3.66 ERA and 65 Ks in 66.1 innings over 12 starts. Kikuchi is 34-42 with a 4.61 ERA in 146 games (134 starts).

Baltimore Orioles

Following a strong start in games one and two of this series, the Baltimore Orioles finally suffered a defeat. In the first two games, the Baltimore Orioles won 2-7 and 1-10, showing how solid they are. However, while a defeat here will worsen their record and lead to a split game in this one, the Baltimore Orioles will look to dominate this game again. 

In this match, the Baltimore Orioles will have two players unavailable. SP Dean Kremer (triceps) threw a light bullpen session on Monday. SP John Means underwent successful Tommy John surgery this week and won't be available for this game. 

Expert Betting Tips

This should be a win for the Baltimore Orioles despite their game-three defeat. In this series, the Baltimore Orioles have been good, and in their loss, they also battled it out well. The Toronto Blue Jays start Yusei Kikuchi in this finale, and he has struggled on the mound, which should also be an advantage for the Orioles. I also expect this game to end with a high score, considering how good the Orioles' offense has been in this series.
