Toronto Blue Jays
(-110/-110)-200
As the Toronto Blue Jays host the Baltimore Orioles on September 14, 2025, fans are eager to see how this pivotal matchup unfolds. With the Blue Jays sitting comfortably in the playoff race at 86-62, their push for postseason glory continues. Meanwhile, the Orioles, at 69-79, have struggled throughout the season and are looking to play spoiler.
In their previous game, the Blue Jays secured a win against the Orioles, which adds to the momentum they hope to carry into this contest. They’ll be counting on their ace, Shane Bieber, to maintain that momentum. Bieber, ranked as the 33rd best starting pitcher according to advanced-stat Power Rankings, has a solid record of 2-1 this season with an average ERA of 4.30. However, his 2.76 xFIP indicates he has been somewhat unlucky, suggesting room for improvement.
The Orioles will counter with Albert Suarez, who is yet to make a start this season but boasts a stellar 2-0 record and a remarkable 2.08 ERA. However, his 4.63 xFIP indicates he may not sustain this level of performance. Facing a high-strikeout offense from the Blue Jays, Suarez’s low strikeout rate (15.6 K%) could prove problematic.
Offensively, the Blue Jays are thriving, ranking 2nd in MLB, supported by an impressive lineup that leads the league with a .284 batting average. In contrast, the Orioles find themselves at 21st in MLB, struggling to find consistency. This disparity could play a significant role as the Blue Jays are projected to score 4.85 runs, while the Orioles sit at a mere 3.65.
