Toronto Blue Jays vs. Athletics

Quick read:

Bet the Athletics to stay within 1.5 runs – they’ve got the gumption to keep this one tighter than a drum.

Toronto’s offense has been about as sizzling as a lukewarm latte, 580 runs all season, while the A’s have rattled off 631 runs, 1206 hits and 174 homers, showing they can still crank up the heat even when they’re giving up plenty of runs.

If the A’s’ pitching continues to leak (819 runs allowed), the Jays could sprint ahead, so the +1.5 isn’t a free lunch – it’s a modest bite with a side of risk.
