Blue Jays vs Athletics Prediction

The Athletics have won one game since May 14, so they’re hard to back with any sort of confidence. Lopez has been solid in a relief role, allowing 14 hits and four earned runs in 14 innings, but the A’s have lost all five games he’s pitched this season. The Blue Jays continue to hover around a .500 record, and while Berrios has been hit or miss, we know he’s an all-star caliber pitcher when he’s right, and I expect him to string some decent outings together at some point. The Blue Jays need to take advantage of this series to gain ground in the standings. I’ll lay the reasonable price with the home team.
