The Toronto Blue Jays have split the first two games of this series in Baltimore, with the rubber match going Sunday afternoon. Both teams have played well so far, each with a 3-2 record. I like the Jays given the history of the two starting pitchers.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Jays will send Drew Hutchison back to the mound after he impressed in a win over the Yankees on Opening Day. The 24 year old gave up just one run on three hits over six innings, winning 6-1 at Yankee Stadium. He was 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA this spring, and all indications are that the sky is the limit for the young right-hander. The Orioles will hand the ball to Chris Tillman, who was also sharp on Opening Day. He struggled against the Jays last season though, going 1-3 with a 4.73 ERA in four starts.
2. Batter vs. Pitcher - The Orioles big bats haven't been able to solve Hutchison, with Chris Davis and Adam Jones a combined 6-for-35 with 10 strikeouts versus the right-hander.
3. X-Factor - Hutchison was 3-1 with a 2.54 ERA in six starts versus Baltimore in 2014.
Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Blue Jays
