Baltimore used five relief pitchers on Thursday, but still came up short in a 6-5 loss to the Angels as Shohei Ohtani homered and drove in the tiebreaking infield single in the eighth. Now the Orioles travel to Toronto, which is 13-6 at home this season and the Blue Jays have won seven of the past 10 meetings. Yusei Kikuchi is 5-0 with a 3.89 ERA for the Blue Jays, who have won seven of his eight starts this year. Kikuchi is 2-0 with a 2.87 ERA at home while allowing only five earned runs in 15 2/3 innings. The Orioles have lost Kyle Gibson's past three starts as he has given up 12 runs on 23 hits in that span in 17 2/3 innings. Baltimore is 16-35 its past 51 meetings at Toronto and the Blue Jays have won 21 of 28 home games versus right-handed starters dating to last season and they have a combined .283 batting average and .761 OPS against Gibson. Play the Blue Jays as a Max Play.
