The Athletics have a 57-87 record this season and are sitting in the 4th place of the AL West. They have a 25-44 home record and are coming off a 0-2 home loss against the Mariners . They will face the Mariners and the Rays next.
The Athletics have a .247 batting average this season, .320 OBP and .404 Slugging percentage. Oakland’s pitching staff has a 5.40 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. Jeff McNeil is the team’s best hitter with a .269 batting average. Nick Kurtz leads the team in RBI with 69, while Shea Langeliers adds a team-high 23 home runs.
Jacob Lopez (L) is the projected starting pitcher for the Athletics, and he has a 6-4 record, 4.71 ERA and 1.46 WHIP.
The Toronto Blue Jays have a 72-72 record this season and are sitting in the 4th place of the AL East. They have a 35-37 away record and are coming off a 4-3 road win against the Royals. They will face the Orioles and the Tigers next.

Ernie Clement is the team’s best hitter with a .275 batting average. Kazuma Okamoto leads the team in RBI with 81 and adds a team-high 28 home runs.
Dylan Cease (R) is the projected starting pitcher for the Blue Jays, and he has a 10-5 record, 2.25 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.
The Blue Jays are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the A’s and have won their last seven meetings in Toronto.
In this Blue Jays vs Athletics Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -200 home favorites. I like the Blue Jays in this one with their ace on the mound in Dylan Cease, who has been in excellent form and he is one of the best road pitchers in baseball, with a 7-1 record and 1.67 ERA. Jacob Lopez has been in very good shape, but he will face a red-hot Toronto offense that scored 6.9 runs per game against lefties in their last 10, while the A’s are scoring 4.1 in that span and also have the worst bullpen in baseball. Take the Jays to win this one comfortably and cover the runline.
