Premium Pick

Oakland plays its third straight road game a long way from home. The offense is 26th in runs scored, 27th in on-base percentage, 18th in slugging, and 21st in steals. J.P. Sears (4.35 ERA) is on the mound backed up by a bullpen that is fifth in ERA (3.59). The A's are on a 9-3 run UNDER the total and are a bad road team (20-39). They're also 7-0 UNDER versus losing teams, plus 1-10 when Sears starts in Sunday get-away games. Toronto's offense is 24th in runs scored, 13th in on-base percentage, and 21st in slugging. Chris Bassitt (3.95 ERA) comes off a 5-2 win over first-place Baltimore allowing 2 runs and 3 hits in 7 innings with 9 strikeouts. The UNDER is 4-0 when Bassitt faces the AL West and the Blue Jays play their sixth straight at home on an 8-4 run at home, so back home field in a defensive duel. Play Toronto + UNDER the total.
