The Toronto Blue Jays have dominated the Baltimore Orioles as of recent as they have won 12 of the last 16 meetings between these two teams. The Baltimore Orioles have looked decent through the first few games, but you can’t expect this to last for a team that didn’t even hit the 50-win mark during the 2018 regular season. The Toronto Blue Jays have the better lineup as they have guys who have no problem putting the ball over the fence against bad pitchers. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Blue Jays win 6-3.
