There are just three games around MLB on the final Monday night of the regular season, and only one of them has any potential bearing on the postseason field: Toronto Blue Jays (77-79) at Baltimore Orioles (75-81). Both are still alive for the AL's final wild-card spot, but barely, and tonight's loser can pretty much forget about extra baseball.

ET first pitch from Camden Yards. Not great hitting weather, with winds blowing in about 8 mph and highs only around 70. There is split action on the money line with Baltimore a slight favorite, but solid action on the Over 7.5.

FanDuel SGP price: +134 (subject to change) The Chicago White Sox had led the AL Central most of the summer but now are second in that division while holding the junior circuit's No. 6 seed by three games over Toronto and Houston and five on Baltimore.
The Pale Hose are +110 favorites for that spot, with the Blue Jays at +1800 and Orioles +10000 – Baltimore trails this season series 6-4. So, yeah, it's an extreme long shot anyway for these two, and either Toronto or Baltimore would have to win out at this point most likely for any shot. The Orioles, whose magic number to be eliminated is two (can't happen before Tuesday), already have caught one break in this series in that the Jays announced ace Dylan Cease, who likely finishes second in the AL Cy Young voting, will not make his scheduled turn Wednesday due to shoulder discomfort that will require an MRI.
Cease didn't look right in Friday's loss to Texas, and it sounds like the only way he pitches now would be in a must-win game this weekend vs. Cincinnati, if even then. Other than Cease, the Toronto rotation has largely been an injury-ravaged disappointment this season, and that includes righty Trey Yesavage (5-5, 3.65 ERA), who was among the AL Rookie of the Year favorites in the spring after shining late last regular season and into the playoffs.
But he has been limited to 93.2 big-league innings in 2026 and will be activated off the injured list (knee) for his first big-league outing since Aug. 4. Yesavage is expected to throw three innings and approximately 40-50 pitches after tossing 34 in his lone rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo. He has faced the Orioles twice this year and is 0-1 with a 5.91 ERA in 10.2 innings.
