One more game, then lock it up. The Orioles and Blue Jays will finish their respective seasons on Sunday at Camden Yards, and Baltimore will be able to tie the season series with a victory.

Elvis Andrus might be favored, but it's anyone's guess who will take home the American League Rookie of the Year Award this season.
