[Toronto Blue Jays](https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/teams/baseball/mlb/toronto-blue-jays) and [Baltimore Orioles](https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/teams/baseball/mlb/baltimore-orioles) square off on Monday with first pitch set for 1:05 p.m. The Orioles force their opponents to earn their scoring opportunities, as they rank 10th in baseball in team ERA (3.77). Kevin Gausman (10-9, 3.14 ERA) will start for the Blue Jays and the Orioles will counter with Jordan Lyles (10-9, 4.25 ERA). Baltimore (71-62) continues their season of exceeding expectations as they are among the teams in the hunt for a postseason berth. A clean sweep starting with Monday’s contest can give the Blue Jays some breathing room in the wild-card chase. Gausman has been particularly tough on the road, going 6-3 with a 2.01 ERA over 76 innings pitched. Toronto (73-59) has won four of their last five games as they enter a pivotal three-game series with Baltimore.

[Michael Baumann](https://www.covers.com/sport/baseball/mlb/players/13155/mike-baumann) (1-2, 4.50 ERA): Baumann makes his first appearance for the Orioles since June 19 in what appears to be a “bullpen game.” Baumann has pitched in seven games for Baltimore this year, all in relief. The Orioles’ relief corps has been a Top-10 unit all year and should do its part in keeping this game low-scoring. Gausman is more than capable of working deep into games for Toronto and averaged over six innings per start in August. Gausman had a nightmarish outing in his lone start against the Orioles this year back on June 16, as he was sent to the showers after allowing five earned runs in only 2 1-3 innings at Rogers Centre. Baumann shouldn’t be expected to pitch deep into this one, but that’s not a big deal, as he is backed by an Orioles bullpen that’s third by ERA (2.03) over the last two weeks. Once Gausman departs, a Toronto bullpen that’s pitched to a 3.45 ERA over the last two weeks will take over. Kevin Gausman produced a 2.70 ERA in August and owns an outstanding 2.01 road ERA in 2022.

Bichette homered three times in the second game and the Jays swept a doubleheader with big wild-card implications.

On the Blue Jays' end, they have nine games left against the Rays and three against the Yankees. The Orioles were 2 1/2 games back of the Blue Jays for the final AL playoff spot. They can do some head-to-head damage against the Rays, continue to do it against the Orioles and then hope for some help with the Yankees. Then, they inexplicably were embarrassed in a three-game sweep, at home, at the hands of the Had they swept the series, they'd only be a half-game out and even a split would have left them right back where the day started at 2 1/2 back.

The Toronto Blue Jays secured two huge wins against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, ensuring at least a split against their AL East rivals.

He has surrendered nine runs against the Jays between innings 1-5. The Jays have crossed this number in five of eight contests. Mitch White started that series on the bump and gave up seven earned runs through five frames before being pulled. Those numbers are brought down by an atrocious three-game stint against the Los Angeles Angels in which Toronto scored just three runs in three games. Over the past three weeks, the Jays are 14-5 and have scored the seventh-most runs in MLB (89). The Jays have a 4.5-game cushion in the final wild-card spot and are being chased by the O’s, among others.

Toronto Blue Jays (75-59, third in the AL East) vs. Baltimore Orioles (71-64, fourth in the AL East)

The matchup Tuesday is the 12th meeting between these teams this season. Bichette is 16-for-39 with three doubles and four home runs over the last 10 games. BOTTOM LINE: The Toronto Blue Jays take on the Baltimore Orioles after Bo Bichette hit three home runs against the Orioles on Monday.

Nicholas Martin previews Tuesday's MLB game between the Blue Jays and Orioles, including betting odds and a prediction.

Bradish has faced Toronto three times since June 13th, and has allowed an ERA of 7.25 with a WHIP of 1.97. He holds some above-average stuff to be sure, but continued dominance moving forward would obviously be surprising, and being a fastball/slider heavy righty versus this Jays team does offer a poor matchup. Get up-to-the-minute [MLB odds](https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds)here. Toronto’s offense has absolutely terrorized Bradish this season, and even if Bradish is entering this one in the midst of some excellent play, this matchup should still bode well for the Jays. Bradish has been stellar over his last two outings, which has been by far the best stretch of the 25-year-old’s career and has lowered his overall ERA significantly. The Orioles’ offense has continued to be far more effective than one might expect over the last 30 days, batting to a team wRC+ of 100. White has now pitched to an ERA of 7.04 during his tenure with the Blue Jays, and three of his five starts have been of the notably poor variety altogether. [Angels](https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/los-angeles-angels) and the [Cubs](https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/chicago-cubs) over that stretch of play, but it does seem Toronto’s talented lineup is trending into a better place. Toronto has played a ton of ball over the last week, but did manage to avoid taxing the top bullpen arms too much in Monday’s doubleheader with the massive offensive output. [American League](https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/futures/mlb-al-pennant-winner) shortstop ever to manage three homers and six hits in a single day Monday, and could certainly be somewhat of an X-factor with continued strong play moving forward. Toronto has remained one of the most successful teams in the league against right-handed pitching this season after holding the league’s top marks a year ago, and that strength has certainly become known to Bradish. The Blue Jays broke out with 15 runs from 25 hits combined in Monday’s doubleheader to start this crucial series, and now hold a 4.5-game lead over the Orioles in the AL wild-card race.

We go over how to watch Tuesday's game between the Blue Jays and Orioles and make some picks.
