Athletics vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
Springs has been solid this season, and he’s been even better lately, allowing 19 hits and seven earned runs in his last 30.2 innings. The problem is the Athletics have won one game since May 14, and they’ve lost three of Springs’ last four starts despite the strong performances. The A’s are a tough sell these days. The Blue Jays are showing flashes here and there lately of putting things together, and Bassitt has been fabulous through 28 home innings, posting a 1.61 ERA and .261 allowed batting average. I’ll lay the somewhat reasonable price with the Blue Jays at home.
