The Baltimore Orioles (82-78) will host the Toronto Blue Jays (91-69) on Tuesday with two days left in the regular season. The Blue Jays took Monday's series opener 5-1 and Toronto now has a 9-8 edge in what has been an extremely competitive season series.
The Toronto Blue Jays have clinched the top wild card spot in the American League, and the question remaining is whether they will host the Mariners or Rays in a best-of-three series this weekend. Toronto was 2-5 against Seattle and 9-10 against Tampa Bay, but nothing the Blue Jays do in the final two games will impact who they face next.
