T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5.

I like the Toronto Blue Jays runline against the Oakland Athletics in this game on Wednesday. The Blue Jays have lost 5 games in a row now and haven't looked very good in those losses but they are a better team than the A's are and I expect the Blue Jays to bounce back here after 2 losses in a row to the A's now. The A's haven't looked good at all this year, they have the worst offense in the league along with 1 of the worst records and before this series against the Blue Jays, they had lost 6/7 of their previous 7 games. The Blue Jays have been losing a lot of their games lately with their pitching but I think they are going to be better off in this game. Jose Berrios (6-4, 5.72 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has been very up and down this year but he has had some really good starts and I expect him to pitch well against the worst offense in baseball here. He had 2 really bad starts before his most recent start but pitched well in that previous start, only giving up 2 runs in 5 innings. I expect him to step up for his team here and pitch deep into this game, their bullpen has also been a bit more rested now so they should have some better arms available for them here. James Kaprielian (1-5, 5.43 ERA) is up for the A's here and he has not looked good at all this year. He has had some good starts this year but a majority of his starts have been bad seeing him give up a ton of runs and I think he is going to do the same here against this very good Blue Jays lineup. The Blue Jays haven't been cashing in a lot of their chances to score runs but they are getting players on base and that is going to correct itself eventually since the Blue Jays have 1 of the best offenses in the league at the moment and they are not even performing to their best ability. The Blue Jays have to take a game here and stop the bleeding and I think this is a great spot for them. I like the Blue Jays runline in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Blue Jays.
