Baltimore comes into this matchup after a very impressive sweep of the Rays and they have won five of their last six games. The Orioles are 17-13 at home this year, while the Blue Jays are 10-16 on the road. Toronto has split their last four games and they have allowed two total runs in their last two. The Blue Jays are starting Corbin, who has allowed 1, 3, 3, 2, and 2 earned runs in his last five outings, while Bassitt has allowed 3+ earned runs in three of his last four starts. Baltimore is heating up, but I don’t love Bassitt on the mound. Take the Blue Jays on the road.
