This rubber match will kick off Thursday’s slate, and the pitching matchup leads it to be more like Game 1 rather than Game 2. Yusei Kikuchi will take the ball for the Blue Jays, and while he has been an enigma during his time north of the border, the Orioles may have his number.

he Orioles are in line to do just that: they are leading the majors in wRC+ and are hitting .310 as a team over the last seven days.

This scolding hot lineup will get to face Kikuchi. Baltimore has gotten to Kikuchi quite a bit in the past, as they’ve hit .275 off him as a team in 69 combined at-bats. What’s interesting is that their average exit velocity in that sample size is 91.8 mph.

So not only have they seen the ball well, but they’ve struck the ball well, and Kikuchi is due to regress. That type of hard contact has been a theme for Kikuchi this season, and all the numbers point to it continuing this afternoon, as his FIP is 5.87.

We are going to see what separates these two clubs in the early going of this game, as there is a mismatch on the hill. Wells should be able to contain the meat of the Blue Jays’ order while receiving plenty of run support from the hottest lineup in baseball.

Back the Orioles to be up halfway through this one.
