Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays 3/22/2023 Analysis, Tips and Picks
The MLB action at TD Ballpark Dunedin, FL, will be the Baltimore Orioles taking on the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at 1:07 PM ET. The Blue Jays come into the game with a solid record of 14-11, while the Orioles are not far behind at 12-11. Despite suffering a recent loss to the Phillies, the Baltimore Orioles have been on a roll, winning six out of their last eight games. Unfortunately, in their most recent game, starter Kyle Braddish had a rough outing, giving up 9 earned runs in just 2.1 innings of work. Despite the loss, right fielder Heston Kjerstad managed to record 2 hits in the game.
Looking ahead, the Orioles can count on catcher Adley Rutschman to lead their offense. With his impressive game-calling skills and powerful arm, Rutschman is a rare player in today’s game. He is equally adept at hitting for both average and power and is expected to finish the season with a batting average over .300 and at least 20 home runs. As one of the most talented players on the team, Rutschman will be a key factor in the Orioles’ success this season.

Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays 3/22/2023 Analysis, Tips and Picks
The Toronto Blue Jays boast an impressive 8-3 record at home, while the Baltimore Orioles have struggled on the road, currently sitting at 5-8 in away games. In recent action, the Blue Jays have been dominant, winning two of their previous three games and even managing to shut out their opponents in back-to-back games. Most recently, they blanked the Detroit Tigers 5-0, with reliever Adam Climber picking up the win after pitching a shutout inning. Left fielder Devonte Brown had an outstanding game, recording three RBIs in just one at-bat.
The Blue Jays made a significant addition to their roster in the off-season, signing former San Francisco Giants All-Star Brandon Belt in free agency. Despite recent injury issues, Belt played a crucial role for the Giants during his 12-year career. With the Blue Jays, he is expected to bat somewhere in the middle of the already crowded lineup, which could work in his favor by reducing the pressure and potentially giving him more pitches to hit. If he can stay healthy in 2023, Belt could turn out to be the Blue Jays’ most significant off-season acquisition and a valuable addition to their already potent offense.
