Orioles vs Blue Jays Prediction
Toronto was able to get an improbable win on Friday night and they have won four games in a row. The Blue Jays are 12-16 on the road this year, while the Orioles are 17-15 at home. Baltimore has lost the first two games in this series, but they have scored 5+ runs in four of their last five games. The Orioles are starting Young, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three straight starts, while Yesavage has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five outings. I know Yesavage struggled last time out, but he is an elite pitcher and Toronto is playing well. Take the Blue Jays here.
