Toronto Tries to Keep Pace on the Road
The Blue Jays enter this matchup with a 29-31 overall record and a 12-18 record away from home. Toronto has won three of its last five games, recently losing to Baltimore 9-5, recently losing to Baltimore 6-5, recently winning over Baltimore 6-5, recently winning over Baltimore 2-1, and recently winning over Miami 2-1.

One of Toronto’s biggest strengths is its ability to generate contact. The Blue Jays have collected 491 hits this season while maintaining a respectable .244 team batting average. However, the club has not generated the same level of power production as Atlanta, which could become an important factor in this matchup.
