Blue Jays and Orioles Meet With Wild Card Ground at Stake

Toronto and Baltimore open a three-game series with both clubs still trying to close ground in the AL Wild Card race. The Blue Jays begin the day three games back, the Orioles five, and Toronto already owns a 6–4 edge in the season series.

The starters give the opener an interesting split. Trey Yesavage has the better ERA and WHIP at 3.65 and 1.14, while Shane Baz’s 3.61 FIP comes in well below Yesavage’s 4.08. Baz has also limited walks and home runs more effectively; Yesavage has produced more strikeouts and the stronger run-prevention line.

Baltimore has supplied more offense over the season, scoring 4.44 runs per game with 189 home runs. Toronto sits at 4.03 runs per game, 29th in MLB. Neither bullpen has been an obvious weakness, either: the Blue Jays rank seventh in relief ERA at 3.67, with Baltimore 10th at 3.82. In a matchup where neither side has much room to give away, the first few scoring chances could carry extra weight.
