10* EARLY TOTAL OF WEEK - 79-57 MLB RUN
(MLB) Toronto vs. Oakland,
Total: 8.50 | -107.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* AL TOW on the UNDER Jays/A's.

Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end this afternoon.

Toronto has won three of its last four after taking two of three at Colorado over the weekend. All three games flew OVER the number, but note that Toronto has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of its last seven after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

Oakland is playing better right now, taking two of three from LA here at home over the weekend. It's seen the total fly over the number in three of its last four.

The Jays start Jose Berrios (9-10, 3.70 ERA), and the home side counters with Ken Waldichuk (2-7, 5.92.)

I say the conditions are right for a lower-scoring "duel" here in the opener of this series on the West Coast.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
