Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
I’ll stay with the Jays I suppose. Staying away from this one, though. Francis is 1-1 in his last three outings with three earned (all in one appearance) in 8.0 innings total. As for Rogers, he’s coming off five earned on six hits and three walks in 4.1 innings during a loss to Cleveland.
On Tuesday the Jays had one big inning but that was enough to secure the victory. Most of the credit goes to the pitching staff otherwise. After Bassitt’s start, the pen held up with 2.0 clean frames, no hits, one walk and three Ks. I think the Jays have a good shot at another W Wednesday but it’s a coin flip.
