Free MLB Pick

Historical batter versus pitcher numbers would easily favor Orioles’ starter Kevin Gausman over Jays’ starter Mark Buerhle, but we’re going to go with the current form. Buerhle has recorded a Q starts in three straight games and this season has done likewise against the Orioles getting the Q start in all three of his outings against Baltimore. Gausman is making his first start of 2015 in the big leagues after starting the season in the bullpen. He went on the DL in early May with a shoulder issue and has had a rehab stint in the minors where he didn’t look particularly good. We’ll ride the hot team from the north.
