Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
Well, it all comes down to one game to see who will advance to the ALDS. The Orioles were under .500 on the road for the season, but they did take two of three games facing the Blue Jays in Toronto in the 2nd to last series of the season. Baltimore had success this season facing the Blue Jays with Tillman on the hill and while Toronto has a solid lineup they only totaled 11 runs in their last five games. Stroman did not get a decision in his six starts in September and in that span only had one outing where he gave up less than two earned runs. The Orioles will get to him in this Wild Card match up and even on the road they will win this game and advance in the playoffs.
