The struggling Toronto Blue Jays look for their first home victory when they host the Baltimore Orioles in the second of a four-game weekend set Friday night at Rogers Centre. Toronto began the season with a 1-5 road trip before dropping the first three of its nine-game homestand, including Thursday’s 2-1 loss in the series opener. To make matters worse, Toronto lost 2015 American League MVP Josh Donaldson to a calf injury on Thursday. Donaldson has been dealing with a sore right calf muscle for nearly two months now and left the game after delivering an RBI double in the sixth inning. Kevin Gausman and three relievers shut down the Toronto offense as Baltimore improved to 2-1 on its nine-game road trip. The Orioles have allowed a total of four runs in winning their first three matchups with Toronto this year, including a two-game set at home that opened the season. Orioles closer Zach Britton has converted 53 consecutive save opportunities – the third-longest streak in major-league history. Toronto has scored more than two runs in only three of its first nine games and is the only team in the majors yet to record a stolen base.
Pitchers: Orioles – Wade Miley (0-0, 0.00 ERA) | Blue Jays – Aaron Sanchez (0-0, 1.29)
Wade Miley will make his second start of the season after making his season debut against the New York Yankees on Sunday. Miley began the season on the disabled list with an upper respiratory infection. Miley allowed just one hit and struck out five in five scoreless innings but matched his career high by issuing seven walks and received a no-decision. Miley has struggled against Toronto in his career, going 1-4 with a 5.57 ERA in six starts.
Aaron Sanchez was solid in his season debut, working seven innings at Tampa Bay on Saturday but settled for a no-decision. Sanchez allowed just one run on four hits and three walks while recording six strikeouts. Sanchez is 5-2 with a 3.88 ERA in 13 career appearances (eight starts) against Baltimore.

This Toronto team won’t stay down for long and I like them to bust loose tonight against Miley even without Donaldson. Sanchez is one of the better pitchers in the American League and he’ll have another solid outing tonight.
Pick: Blue Jays -1.5 +145
