Baltimore Orioles vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays in this one. Toronto’s been really solid off of a loss since the all-star break and bottom line is this is a must-win series for both teams but Toronto’s at home and Scherzer’s been a lot better at home since returning from his injury. I think the Blue Jays get to Bassitt and get the job done here. Give me Toronto.
