The Blue Jays are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Orioles but have lost their last two meetings in Baltimore.
In this Blue Jays vs Orioles Prediction, the Orioles are coming as -110 home favorites. The Orioles are coming off Sunday night baseball which is auto-fade. They also one loss away from being officially eliminated from the playoffs, so I will side with the Jays in this one, who they also need the win in order to stay alive in the wild card run. Yesavage had just one earned run in his two starts before his injury and has been better on the road, while Shane Baz has given up 3+ runs in three of his last four starts and the Orioles were shut out in back-to-back games. Take the Jays to win this one.
