Blue Jays vs. Orioles: An AL East Showdown on Apple TV+
Get ready for some Friday Night Baseball! This weekend kicks off the 2025 season with a thrilling AL East clash between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles, airing exclusively on Apple TV+. This four-game series opener promises fireworks, as two playoff hopefuls face off. Last year’s AL East cellar-dwellers, the Blue Jays, are looking to prove their offseason reinforcements—including slugger Anthony Santander (44 HRs in 2024)—were the key to their turnaround.
A Pivotal Matchup
The Orioles, despite losing Santander to Toronto, boast exciting young talent like Adley Rutschman and Jackson Holliday, both former No. 1 overall draft picks. While Rutschman struggled late last season, his strong spring training hints at a return to his dominant form. The pitching matchup is equally intriguing: veteran Kevin Gausman seeks a rebound season for the Jays, facing off against Charlie Morton in his Orioles debut. Will Gausman overcome his struggles against Baltimore from last year?
