Baltimore Orioles

As the Baltimore Orioles prepare to host the Toronto Blue Jays on April 12, 2025, they find themselves struggling with a 5-8 record this season. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are enjoying a solid 8-6 start, placing them in a favorable position within the American League East. This matchup is particularly significant as it marks the second game of the series, with the Blue Jays winning the first contest.

Cade Povich, projected to start for the Orioles, comes into this game ranked as the 136th best starting pitcher in MLB according to advanced stats, positioning him below average. Povich projects to pitch approximately 5.3 innings, allowing an average of 2.4 earned runs. However, his projections also indicate he may struggle, permitting 4.9 hits and 2.0 walks—both figures suggest a challenging outing ahead.

On the other side of the mound, Jose Berrios will take the ball for the Blue Jays. Although he is also deemed a bad pitcher by MLB standards, his projections are slightly better than Povich’s, with an expected 5.6 innings pitched and an average of 2.9 earned runs allowed. Berrios’s ability to limit walks and hits could give Toronto an edge in this matchup.

The Orioles’ best hitter has recorded 1 home run and boasts an OPS of .872 over the past week, but they will need more offensive support to overcome Toronto’s potent lineup, which features a hitter with a remarkable .429 batting average and a 1.149 OPS during the same period. With the Orioles facing mounting pressure and the Blue Jays riding high, this game could be pivotal for both teams as they aim to solidify their standings in the division.
