Baltimore enters this AL East matchup powered by high-contact hitting at the top of the order over the last two weeks, led by Colton Cowser batting .346 across nine games and Gunnar Henderson hitting .342 over ten. Pete Alonso brings raw power to the Orioles' lineup with six home runs and 11 RBI in his last 11 games, counterbalancing Toronto's surging catcher Alejandro Kirk, who is batting .345 over an eight-game stretch. With no overall team record or rest data present, recent individual plate performance stands as the primary signal.
