TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays feel that parity in the American League East could work to their advantage as they struggle to reach the .500 mark.
One way to begin climbing back into the race would be to create some parity with the Baltimore Orioles, one of their division rivals, starting with the second game of a three-game series at Rogers Centre on Wednesday night.
The Orioles (38-38) are 8-2 in their meetings with the Blue Jays following their 3-1 victory over Toronto on Tuesday night.
Toronto (36-40) posted an 18-10 record in May after an 8-17 April, but the Blue Jays have sagged to 10-13 in June, dropped them four games below .
