The Toronto Blue Jays are currently 74-59 and are in third place in the AL East. The Blue Jays are the last team in the Wild Card in the AL. Over their last 10 games, they are 6-4 and are on a four-game winning streak. They are coming off a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates where they won all three of the games they played on the road. In those games against the Pirates, they allowed 4 runs while scoring 12 runs. In this game against the Orioles, pitcher Mitch White will take the mound for the Blue Jays. On the season, White is 1-5 with an ERA of 4.67 and a WHIP of 1.39. However, White was traded to the Blue Jays earlier this season from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Unfortunately, he has struggled to find success with the team as in his 5 starts, he is 0-3 with an ERA of 7.04 and a WHIP of 1.74. The Blue Jays are currently in 4th place for the number of hits in the league with 1,184. They also rank top 4 for batting average, OBP, and SLG. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leads the team in hits, RBIs, and home runs. The Blue Jays are a great hitting team as they have 8 batters with over 100 hits on the season. Also, they rank 12th around the league for ERA with a 3.85. In this game against the Orioles, the Blue Jays need a better performance from White if they want to win. 

The Baltimore Orioles are currently 71-63 and are in fourth place in the AL East. They are 3.5 games back from the Blue Jays and the first team out of Wild Card contention in the AL. Over their last 10 games, they are 6-4 and are on a two-game losing streak. They are coming off a series against the Oakland Athletics where they won two of the three games they played. For this game against the Blue Jays, the Orioles will have Kyle Bradish take the mound for them. Bradish is 3-5 on the season with an ERA of 5.17 and a WHIP of 1.47. Bradish is 0-1 in his 3 starts against the Blue Jays this season. He has an ERA of 7.07. The Orioles rank 21st in the league for batting average and hits. Unlike the Blue Jays, the Orioles only have 4 players with over 100 hits on the season. The Orioles will need a great performance from their team if they want to win. 

I think the Blue Jays should win this game and tie the series against the Orioles. They have better overall hitters and a better record than Baltimore. In this game against the Orioles, these two teams will have below-average pitchers pitching for them and I think Toronto will take advantage.
