Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Baltimore:</b> Chandler Shepherd (0-0 4.91 ERA)
</p>
<p>
<b>Toronto:</b> Clay Buchholz (1-5 6.48 ERA)
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/187428&quot; title="Chandler Shepherd Pitching Stats">Shepherd </a>is a rookie and making his 4th appearance and 2nd start of the season. His last appearance was his first career start, and he gave up three earned runs on four hits, including two HR, in an 8-5 loss to the Blue Jays. His previous two appearances were in relief, and he totaled seven innings and gave up three earned runs. Before being called up to the big club, Sheppard was 3-5 in 14 appearances, including 12 starts, with an ERA of 4.60 in AAA.
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/39700&quot; title="Clay Buchholz Pitching Stats">Buchholz</a> was lit up in his last start only lasting three 2/3 innings and giving up seven earned runs on ten hits, but the lineup bailed him out in an 11-10 win over the Orioles. The Blue Jays had lost his previous two starts where he gave up seven earned runs in 10 innings. Since missing nearly four months of the season with a shoulder injury, Buchholz is 1-3 and his last start, which was his worst of the season, was his first facing the Orioles. The Blue Jays are 2-6 in his previous eight starts, and they are 1-4 in his last five starts against a team with a losing record.

<h3>
Team Info<br />
</h3>
<p>
The Orioles have won two of their last three games but still have the 2nd fewest wins in baseball. Last week at home they were swept at the hands of the Blue Jays giving up 27 runs in the three-game series. However, the next series was their last winning two of three games where they gave up only three runs in the two wins and gave up seven runs in the one loss.
</p>
<p>
The Blue Jays lineup was solid in their five-game win streak, especially in the series sweep of the Orioles, but they have only scored five runs in their last two games. In their previous two games, Toronto struck out 30 times. They have the 4th fewest wins in the Majors, but they are 11-8 against the Orioles this season.

Orioles at Blue Jays Prediction 09/23/19

The Jays swept the Orioles on the road last week, and in one of the games Buchholz was less than sharp giving up seven runs and failing to make it out of the 4th inning. I see him getting tagged up again in this game, but unlike the last one, he will not get a lot of run support. Sheppard will have a good outing in the 2nd one his career but not a great one. However, the Orioles will get it done at the dish facing a struggling Buchholz, and that is why they will take the first game of this division series.
