They bounced back in the second game with a strong offensive performance, but suffered a loss in the third game after starter Max Scherzer left with an injury. Despite the setbacks, Bo Bichette had a standout game, going 4-for-4. The Blue Jays will look to veteran Chris Bassitt to close out their series with the Orioles.

Baltimore Orioles Expected to Have Advantage Against Toronto Blue Jays with Unfamiliar Pitcher on Mound

The Baltimore Orioles are poised to have an advantage in their upcoming game against the Toronto Blue Jays as they prepare to face the unfamiliar pitcher, Sugano. With his strategic experience, Sugano has the ability to keep the Jays' batters on their toes and prevent them from establishing a rhythm at the plate. In contrast, pitcher Bassitt has had difficulties in previous seasons, struggling with a high ERA, particularly against the Orioles. The Orioles, motivated by their recent successes against the Jays and eager to start the season on the right foot, are projected to secure a victory on Sunday. Therefore, it is recommended to take the Orioles with the money line in this upcoming game.
