Blue Jays at A's picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Jays 7, A's 3
Moneyline
The Blue Jays (-180) are a little on the pricey side, and right at my personal limit for a moneyline play. As part of a multi-leg parlay, that's fine, but avoid a singular bet.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
The BLUE JAYS -1.5 (-115) might give bettors some pause after losing Monday's series opener. And, the home team is 4-0 in the series this season. But, Soriano is heads and tails better in terms of the pitching matchup, as Perkins has been a disaster.
Over/Under
OVER 9.5 (+100) is the lean, but roll with a half-unit play at best.
We saw a total of 11 runs with Cease on the bump, and that's stunning. That's also what happens at Sutter Health Park, a smallish Triple-A park temporarily hosting the A's. The Over is 11-5 in the past 16 home games for the A's.
