The Oakland Athletics and Toronto Blue Jays face off on Friday in an American League East MLB showdown at the Rogers Centre. 

The Oakland Athletics traded away a ton of talent before the season but they still come into this game with a 4-3 record overall. On Wednesday the offense was good scoring six runs and that led to the three run victory. Seth Brown has been the top player this season hitting two home runs and driving in eight RBI’s. In this game, the A’s are going to need the offense to continue to score runs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Toronto Blue Jays who sit with a 4-3 record but they are coming off a loss against the Yankees. The Blue Jays loaded the bases in the ninth inning, but couldn’t get any runs across, and ended up losing 3-0. The Blue Jays are averaging 4.143 runs per game while their defense is giving up 4.857. Both are ranked near the bottom third of the league, and they need especially the offense to be more consistent going forward. Vladimir Guerrero has been the top player this season hitting four home runs and driving in eight RBI’s. 

Getting the start for the A’s will be Daulton Jefferies who comes into this game with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 0.00. In his first start against the Phillies he went five innings giving up two hits and zero earned runs. 

The Blue Jays are 5-1 in their last six home games. The Blue Jays are 6-1 in their last seven games against the American League West. The over is 4-1-1 in the Blue Jays last six home games. 

Daulton Jefferies was strong in his first start of the season and he is going to continue that success in this game. Look for the A’s to also give him some run support, scoring four or five runs, and that will be enough to get the job done at the Rogers Centre. Back Oakland to win this game on the money line. This is one of the top plays on the board.
