The 25-35 Baltimore Orioles will head north of the border tonight to open a 4-game set with the surging Toronto Blue Jays. The 35-24 Jays have won 13 of their last 17 games and will have their ace on the hill, Alek Manoah. He just keeps on mowing them down. Manoah comes in at 7-1 with a 1.81 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP, and Toronto is 5-0 in his last 5 home starts against a team with a losing record. The Orioles will counter with Kyle Bradish, who is 1-3 with a 6.45 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP – not the kind of numbers you want against a Jays team that can light it up. Baltimore will have some guys on the shelf due to Canada’s Covid-19 restrictions and are 0-6 in their last 6 against Toronto. The Jays won’t come cheap, but with Manoah on the hill and with the way the Jays are playing, take Toronto.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS
