Both the Baltimore Orioles and the Toronto Blue Jays are in need of a win and will meet tonight when the Orioles host the Jays at Camden Yards. Lefty Bruce Zimmermann (4-4, 4.83 ERA) is expected to get the nod for Baltimore and had better be in top form if the Orioles hope to end their 8-game skid against the talented Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto has won their last 6 trips to Baltimore but have a depleted bullpen so expected starter southpaw Robbie Ray (4-2, 3.45 ERA) will need to go deep in the game and if he does the Jays should come out on top. The Orioles are just 11-21 at home and 1-7 in their last 8 against a left-handed starter. The Jays were just swept by the Yankees in Buffalo, but were in every game, and if not for some fielding blunders the outcome would have been different.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS
