What are the stats for Blue Jays vs Orioles?

The catch: Six statistical contrasts, one pattern: the Blue Jays boast a better pitching staff but struggle with the bat. The Orioles hit for a slightly higher average and slugging, yet give up more runs. The trade-off: Toronto’s run differential of −19 hurts, while Baltimore sits at −3, suggesting more competitive losses.

The trade-off

Blue Jays fans banking on a strong rotation need the lineup to produce – currently they score only 3.93 runs per game. For the Orioles, every pitching upgrade simplifies an already potent offense.

Comparing the 2026 season numbers side by side reveals where the game will be won.

Category Toronto Blue Jays Baltimore Orioles
Runs per game 3.93 3.86
Opponent runs per game 5.29 4.07
Batting average .235 .243
Slugging percentage .372 .378
ERA 4.23 4.88
WHIP 1.31 1.49
Win probability (May 30) 47.6% 52.4%

The implication: The Blue Jays’ pitching advantage (0.65 ERA gap) is larger than their offensive deficit. If the bats wake up, the odds flip.

What are the results of the last 10 Blue Jays vs Orioles games?

“The Orioles are slight favorites at home, given their win probability of 52.4% and a run differential that suggests they’re playing better than their record.” ESPN Analytics

“Toronto’s pitching staff keeps them in every game, but the offense needs to produce an extra run per game to tilt the odds.” TeamRankings analysts

The Blue Jays are still chasing that playoff push while the Orioles are ahead in their rebuild timeline. For Toronto fans, the implication is clear: either the bats catch up fast, or the rotation’s best season will be squandered. For Baltimore, the opportunity is to prove that 2023 wasn’t a fluke – and that starts by winning the head-to-head battles.
