Athletics vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
We keep fading the Athletics and keep cashing tickets, as they’ve won just one game since May 14. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. Sears has also been a mess this season, which includes allowing 32 hits and 22 runs in his last 23.2 innings. Sears has allowed 15 hits in his last 8.1 innings. The Blue Jays are having their best week of the season and Gausman had a great May, allowing 26 hits and 10 runs in 32 innings. In 30.2 home innings, Gausman has a 2.93 ERA and .205 allowed batting average. The Blue Jays have to be the play here, and of course, I’ll lay the RL to shave down the juice.
