In this Toronto Blue Jays vs Athletics Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -150 road favorites. The Blue Jays have a superior overall record, and even though they are mediocre on the road, they still have more road wins than the A’s have at home. The Jays have the pitching advantage, as Severino has been terrible for the A’s. He has been weaker at home with a 7.04 home ERA, and he has been in terrible form, with a 1-4 record in his last 5 starts and 7.01 ERA in that span. The Jays have a superior bullpen and a better offense, so I expect them to take care of business tonight at home.
