Two familiar foes meet on Sunday, when the Toronto Blue Jays (83-63) host the Baltimore Orioles (75-69). The Blue Jays will be going for the sweep after beating Baltimore 6-3 on Friday and Saturday. Toronto now holds a slight 8-7 edge in the season series.
Baltimore has had a successful season, but after dropping eight of their last 12 and the first two games of this series, they are five games out of a wild card spot with 17 games remaining. The Orioles need to finish the season remaining schedule on a remarkable run to reach the post season, but that will be a big challenge with four games against Toronto, four games against Houston and three road games against the Yankees still yet to come. The odds are not in Baltimore's favor as ESPN has their current postseason odds at 0.6%.
Taking on Toronto!
