Toronto
The Blue Jays are 1-9 in their last 10 games following a win and 1-7 in their last eight road games.
Baltimore
The Orioles are just 17-42 in their last 59 home games and 7-21 in their last 28 Thursday games.
Prediction:
Stroman is coming off two straight poor outings, but he has been pretty good for most of the year. Ynoa has just three starts, which have all been a bit shaky. Stroman has more experience as a starter and I trust him a little more than the Orioles. Toronto seems to have the bigger bats in the key spots as well. However, both teams have their clear flaws, so it is a bit of a wild card game. Still, I will go with the better starter in Stroman.
MLB Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays -145
