The Blue Jays should be wired up to face the Orioles for the final time at The Dome this weekend.

The Orioles snapped a six-game losing streak after salvaging their series finale at home against Tampa Bay. Baltimore is 64-69, 12 games behind the Blue Jays for first place in the AL East and only three games ahead of last-place Boston. The O's are also 6-1/2 games out for the final wild card berth. Cuban rookie outfielder Dariel Alvarez will not make the trip to Baseball North because of visa issues.

Toronto brings a 76-57 record into the weekend after a 2-1 series victory over Cleveland. They are 1-1/2 games ahead of the New York Yankees.
