The Blue Jays have improved to 74-75, moving right back into the wild card race. Alejandro Kirk blasted a two-run homer and drove in three runs, while Brett Bateman went deep for the second straight night. Toronto are getting production throughout their lineup, not just from the top of the order, making this lineup much tougher to contain with a single strong start.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Dylan Cease gets the nod for the home side-he’s 10-5 with a 2.40 ERA and 227 strikeouts. Those are elite numbers, and he’s the main reason to be cautious about a high-scoring game. However, Baltimore don’t need to put up five or six runs themselves; two or three could be enough to keep the total moving.
Trevor Rogers takes the mound for the visitors-he’s 10-9 with a 4.15 ERA and 138 strikeouts. Toronto have already posted four and seven runs at home in this series, so Rogers’ side looks the more vulnerable to another offensive outburst.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Nine of the last ten head-to-head meetings have seen at least seven runs, including the current series, which has produced 11 and 10 runs respectively. While Cize has the tools to keep Baltimore in check, the 6.5-run line looks too low for two teams trading power hits as consistently as these. Rogers, with a 4.15 ERA, gives Toronto a real chance to put up the bulk of the required runs. Even a routine 4-3 game would see this bet through. We’re backing the over 6.5 total runs.
