  • The Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles have fought for 162 games to get into the postseason, and it’s all going to come down to a do-or-die showdown in the American League wild-card game north of the border tonight.

    Shark Bites
    • The Orioles are 3-1 SU and ATS in their last four games on the road against the Blue Jays.
    • The Blue Jays are 5-0 SU in their last five games at home after consecutive losses at home.
    • The Orioles are 0-4 SU in their last four playoff games.

    Chris Tillman and Marcus Stroman will get the start for the O’s and Jays, respectively. Tillman (16-6, 3.77 ERA) is the undisputed ace of the Orioles’ staff but is winless in his last three outings while failing to complete six innings in any of those appearances. The hurler is 5-10 with a 5.44 ERA in 24 career starts against the Blue Jays.

    Stroman (9-10, 4.37) went 1-0 with a 4.19 ERA in the playoffs last season and finished the 2016 campaign by allowing three or fewer earned runs in five of his last six starts. He has struggled against Baltimore this year, amassing a 1-2 record with a 7.04 ERA in four starts versus the divisional rivals.
