Blue Jays vs Athletics Prediction

The Athletics remain fade material, as they’ve won just one game since May 14. Hoglund doesn’t provide any more confidence, with him allowing 28 hits and 15 runs in 26.1 innings. I’m not a fan of bullpen games, but Fisher has been solid through 8.1 innings, allowing three hits and zero runs. The Blue Jays are also starting to turn the corner with three straight wins and an offense that’s starting to heat up. Either way, backing the Athletics simply isn’t an option. Give me the Blue Jays, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the juice.
