The Blue Jays home winning streak ended at nine games in a 5-3 loss to Baltimore yesterday. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth, Dioner Navarro came within inches of putting Toronto up by four, but after video review it was ruled a foul ball. It was a bad break for the Jays, but I expect them to get right back to business here in the rubber match versus the Orioles.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - Toronto will send 27 year old rookie Scott Copeland to the mound, and he's looked promising in his first two starts. The right-hander gave up just one run on six hits over seven innings, winning his only start at Rogers Center. The Orioles counter with Chris Tillman, who has been rocked by the Blue Jays a few times already this year.
2. Batter vs. Pitcher - The Jays lineup is hitting a combined .295 in previous meetings with Tillman, and Reyes, Donaldson, Encarnacion and Bautista have all hit home runs off the right-hander.
3. X-Factor - The Orioles have historically struggled north of the border, winning just 19 of their last 67 visits to Rogers Center.
