Oakland at Toronto

It has been a long and frustrating road trip for the Oakland A's, one that is now into its eighth day in the East. They have played nine straight games vs. teams .500 or better and stand in at just 3-6. They are amid a 19-game stretch where their opponents are all .500 or better. It has brought this team back to reality as they have now slipped under the .500 mark with last night's loss. Toronto has not been hitting, but broke out in a big way last night, plating 12 runs in a laugher vs. the NY Mets 12-1. The Jays come home where they have played 9 of their last 12 vs. winning teams, and get a chance finally to take on a team that's not quite so potent in the midst of an elongated road trip. Take Toronto.
