Team Previews

Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles have been a revelation this season, leading the AL East with a 62-43 record. Offensively, they rank fifth in on-base percentage (.315) and have shown power with Anthony Santander leading the way with 29 home runs and 68 RBIs. Colton Cowser has also been in excellent form recently, hitting 12-for-36 with two doubles and two home runs in his last 10 games.

On the mound, Zach Eflin will start. He's had an up-and-down season with a 5-7 record and a 4.09 ERA. Eflin has a solid WHIP of 1.16 and has struck out 87 batters in 110 innings, but has been susceptible to giving up home runs, allowing 14 this season.

Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays, currently fifth in the AL East, have struggled for consistency. Their offense has shown flashes of brilliance, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hitting .301 with 22 doubles and 19 home runs. However, the team has had difficulty maintaining momentum, as evidenced by their 23-28 road record.

Yariel Rodriguez will take the mound with a 1-3 record and a 3.69 ERA. Rodriguez has demonstrated good strikeout ability with 42 Ks in 39 innings, but his control has been an issue, as indicated by his 19 walks. The Blue Jays' bullpen has also been unreliable, which could be a factor in the latter stages of the game.
