The Jays are 17-6 in their last 23 road games and 20-8 in their last 28 on grass. The over is 5-2 in Toronto’s last seven Tuesday games.
Meanwhile, the Orioles are 9-3 in their last 12 Tuesday games and 105-215 in their last 320 versus the AL East. Baltimore is 1-4 in the last five in game two of a series.
PICK: I’m staying with the Blue Jays. White has been a little shaky lately however, so he’ll need a good showing here. Over his last two appearances, White has six earned in 7.2 innings on 10 hits and four walks. As for Baumann, he’s got four earned in 8.0 innings over his last two outings. So long as White can at least flirt with a quality start, Toronto’s offense should be able to do the rest.
