Athletics vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays here. Toronto has kept finding ways to win in the first two games of this series, and while the Jays are playing with fire a bit, I still think they’re a solid option in this game with Eric Lauer going. There were times where the A’s got to lefties but Lauer was solid for the Jays in their run last year, and as solid as Luis Morales was last year I still have my questions about his game. Give me Toronto in this one.
