Yesavage Eyes Third Win of Season
Trey Yesavage will get the nod in this one. Yesavage is hoping to rebound after this worst outing of the season. He surrendered five runs in five innings against the Marlins and was pelted with the loss. The rookie missed the first month due to injury and has been dominant in all but one start. He has conceded two or fewer runs in five of his six starts and has delivered a 2.25 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP accompanied by a 2-2 record in 32 innings pitched. This is his first meeting against Baltimore.
The Toronto Blue Jays are inching closer towards the .500 mark. It was a tough first month of the season, but the experienced group is finding its footing. They have won three straight series and are in a wildcard spot. Toronto won two of three against the Pirates last weekend and had more success on the mound in a series win against the Marlins this week, outscoring them by a 12-4 margin. They stand at 11-16 on the road.

The Toronto Blue Jays are enjoying their best stretch of the season. They have won three straight series and seven of their past ten games entering Friday. The Jays have also won three straight road clashes. The Baltimore Orioles have been hit or miss this season and are only three games above .500 at home.
Furthermore, Blue Jays pitcher Trey Yesavage has been tough to solve in five of his six outings this season. He has held his opponent to either one or zero runs in four of his six outings.

Over/Under Pick for Blue Jays vs. Orioles
- Over 8 (5 units)
I expect plenty of scoring. Toronto will score runs against Young. As mentioned, he has a 5.17 ERA in a big sample size of almost 100 innings in his MLB career. While he has a 3.25 ERA this season, his advanced stats are subpar. Young has recorded an xERA of 4.26 and a FIP of 4.75 this season.
In addition, Baltimore has no issues producing offense. They are piling on the offense, averaging five runs per game in their past 10 games. They have also amassed 33 runs in their past six home games.
