Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
For game one I’ll probably take a shot on the Jays. Rodriguez has been pretty decent lately despite a rough record. In his last three starts combined Rodriguez has four earned in 15.2 innings total. As for Eflin, he’s got seven earned in 17.2 innings over his last trio.
As for game two I’ll probably just stick with the Jays again. I could go either way, however. Francis likely won’t be out there for long. He’s got two earned runs in his last three innings but he’s coming off a clean performance versus the Diamondbacks. We’ll see.
