The youthful Orioles weren't anticipated to be anywhere near a postseason spot when we got to this point in the year. One has to wonder if the burden of the entire situation will start to wear them down.

Toronto, meanwhile, has visited this location before. Gausman has been very resilient while traveling, going 6-3 with a 2.01 ERA over 76 innings of work. The Blue Jays hold the advantage on the mound, and their greater level of experience is advantageous in this contest. Take Toronto for an evening beverage.
