(MLB) Toronto vs. Oakland, 04/20/2019 12:07 PM, Score: 10 - 1
Money Line: -135.00 Oakland (Home)
Result: Loss
I want the A's going for me in a bounce back spot. The Blue Jays knocked off Oakland, 5-1, Friday night. It was Toronto's first victory against the A's after losing all seven games to them last season. It also was a pitching matchup of Marcus Stroman versus Aaron Brooks, who shouldn't be in a big league rotation.

Now the pitching matchup is righty Matt Shoemaker versus righthander Mike Fiers.

Fiers is an ace when pitching in spacious Oakland Coliseum. He is 6-0 with a 2.38 ERA in his last 10 home starts. He hasn't been scored on in his last two home starts this season spanning 12 innings. Oakland is 8-1 in Fiers' last nine home starts.

Toronto is 3-8 in its last 11 games against a righty starter.
