Orioles vs Blue Jays: Starting Lineup - Opening Game Preview

The Blue Jays will stay on turn with their rotation for their weekend series against the O's.

Blue Jays veteran Chris Bassitt is on the bump versus Orioles lefty Trevor Rogers. First pitch is at 7:07 PM ET on Sportsnet and TVA Sports.

In his last outing Bassitt (11-8) took the loss against the Yankees, allowing two unearned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three batters over five innings.

A second-inning error helped the Yankees score the only two runs they managed against Bassitt.

Though the righty hurler didn't allow any extra-base hits, that pair of unearned runs was enough to saddle him with the loss.

Bassitt is now winless across his past eight starts, though he's allowed more than three runs only once during that span.

Trevor Rogers gets the ball for the O's tonight. In his last outing Rogers did not factor into the decision in a 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Rogers gave up runs in the third and fifth innings but was otherwise sharp, racking up 16 whiffs while landing 71 of 96 pitches for strikes.

While the outing snapped the southpaw's run of 10 straight quality starts, he's still allowed three earned runs or fewer in all 15 of his outings this season.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been key for Toronto with 159 hits, an OBP of .393 plus a slugging percentage of .494.

George Springer is slugging .544 this season, with a team-best 28 homers while driving in 73 runs.

Ernie Clement has collected 135 base hits, an OBP of .312 and a slugging percentage of .398 this season.

Alejandro Kirk is batting .289 with an OBP of .357 and a slugging percentage of .418 this season.

Gunnar Henderson leads the Orioles in runs batted in (61) and has racked up a team-high batting average of .270.

Jackson Holliday's 17 home runs are a team-high mark.

Ryan Mountcastle has 18 doubles, five home runs and 14 walks while hitting .259.

Colton Cowser is batting .206 with 12 doubles, 13 home runs and 22 walks.
