Key Stats
Baltimore Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles have been one of the best teams this season. With a record of 6-4 in their last ten games and 68-47 overall, they currently sit atop the American League East and are tied with the New York Yankees. Dean Kremer has been named the probable pitcher for Baltimore and with a record of 4-8 and an ERA of 4.39, he needs to gain some confidence as the team makes their playoff push. He is coming off a loss in his last start, pitching five innings and giving up four runs with six hits.
To turn to the offense, Baltimore has been a top-seven offense this season. They rank third in total runs, third in OPS, seventh in batting average, first in total bases, and first in home runs. Shortstop Gunnar Henderson leads the Orioles in batting average (.287), OBP (.374), and hits (129). He is paired with right-fielder Anthony Santander who leads the team in home runs (34), which is a career-high, and RBIs (78).
Toronto Blue Jays
The Toronto Blue Jays have been subpar over their last ten games with a record of 4-6 and currently sit in last place in the American League East. Toronto will send out Kevin Gausman to start on the mound in this game. Over his career, he has held the Orioles batters to a batting average of .275 (39-of-142) with 30 strikeouts and five home runs. In his last game, he pitched 4 2/3 innings while giving up five runs (four earned) on eight hits with three walks and two strikeouts.
As for the offensive side of the Blue Jays, they are still without shortstop Bo Bichette as he is on the Injured List. They are led by first-baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who leads the team in batting average (.317), home runs (22), RBIs (72), OBP (.391), and hits (138). He has been doing well lately as he enters this game on a 19-game hitting streak. Although they have scored four or more runs in six of their last ten games, they might need more than that to pull out of this game with a win.
Prediction
I am predicting that the Baltimore Orioles will defeat the Toronto Blue Jays in this game. The Orioles have been excellent offensively all year long and are facing a pitcher in Kevin Gausman who has a record of 9-8 this season. Although their starting pitcher Dean Kremer's record on the season is 4-8, this is a good spot to build some momentum and gain confidence when it comes to making a postseason run.
