Toronto Blue Jays Betting Preview
The Toronto Blue Jays (55-40, 23-24 Away) swept the Yankees and Angels and were on a ten-game winning streak before losing Game 3 against the White Sox and failing to add another sweep. Toronto edged out the Athletics in the opening game of the current series, but fell short 4-3 in Game 2 on Saturday.

This season, the Blue Jays average 4.59 runs per game (11th in the MLB) on a .259/.330/.405 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Blue Jays’ staff has a 4.13 ERA (20th) and 1.26 WHIP (17th). George Springer leads the Blue Jays with a .271 batting average, 16 home runs, and 53 RBI this season.
Jose Berrios will take the mound for the Blue Jays on Sunday. The 31-year-old right-hander has a 5-3 record in 19 starts this year with a 3.53 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 112.1 innings.

The Athletics (40-57, 19-31 Home) lost to the San Francisco Giants and defeated the Atlanta Braves in the last two series at home. The A’s opened this series against Toronto with a narrow loss, but responded with a tight 4-3 victory last night. Brent Rooker led the offense with three RBI, while Jacob Lopez got the win after allowing two runs on four hits with five strikeouts and two walks across 5.0 innings of work.
This year, the Athletics average 4.22 runs per game (19th in the MLB) on a .248/.316/.415 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Athletics’ staff has a 5.29 ERA (29th) and 1.45 WHIP (29th). Tyler Soderstrom leads the Athletics with a .262 batting average, 17 home runs, and 54 RBI this season.

Athletics vs Blue Jays Prediction
The Blue Jays won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters and were on a five-game winning streak this season when the Athletics snapped that last night. I wasn’t surprised by a low-scoring affair on Saturday, and I expect a similar outcome here. Jose Berrios did have problems in his recent start against the Yankees, but he is coming from a very strong month after posting a 1.97 ERA in June. Berrios shut the A’s out in his latest start against them. Jeffrey Springs, on the other hand, hasn’t allowed more than two runs in his previous five starts. He did struggle in his last start against the Blue Jays, but I think he will do much better here. Go with Under.
