Athletics vs Blue Jays Prediction 

Toronto was able to get the win to start their season on Friday night, but they will look for more offense here. The Blue Jays are starting Cease, who had a rough 2025, so I am interested to see if he bounces back. The Athletics are also looking for more offense and they will start Springs, who was decent at times last season, but finished with an ERA over four. I think this is a game that could go either way, so I will side with the A’s and the plus money.
