Blue Jays Jockey For Playoff Position

The Toronto Blue Jays are 70-56 on the season, and after beating the 77-48 Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on Tuesday, Toronto reduced their divisional deficit to 7.5 games back from the American League leading Orioles. The Tampa Bay Rays remain a difficult obstacle for Toronto to overcome, but after winning 3 straight and posting a 58.14% win-rate over the past 2 months, the Blue Jays have a 68.2% chance to make the playoffs. Baltimore on the other hand, is nearly guaranteed a spot in the postseason with a 98.7% chance, as they are the 2nd-best team in the MLB right now, 4.0 games back from 1st place.  

Go with the Orioles in this one. The Blue Jays played well in the series opener against the Orioles. Toronto recorded 12 hits, 5 RBIs, and 2 home runs, while holding Baltimore to 9 hits, 2 RBIs, and 0 home runs. Toronto’s success against the Orioles is rare though, as the Blue Jays are 3-8 against Baltimore this season. Through 11 matchups, Toronto averaged 3.36 runs, 8.45 hits, and 1.09 home runs per game against the Orioles, while Baltimore averaged 5.73 runs, 10.82 hits, and 1.27 home runs per contest with the Blue Jays.  

So for our Blue Jays vs. Orioles expert pick, take the Baltimore Orioles Moneyline at -118 on Thursday.
