Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
George Springer singled twice, walked, scored a run and drove in three on Tuesday night, as the Blue Jays bested the Athletics 7-1 in Oakland. Springer — who served as the Jays’ designated hitter in this one — delivered a two-run single off of Sammy Long in the seventh inning that extended the Jays’ lead to 3-0. He scored later in the inning on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Whit Merrifield. Springer then drove in the game’s final run with an RBI single in the eighth inning. With his two-hit attack, the 33-year-old outfielder is now hitting .262/.335/.406 with 17 homers, 59 RBI and 19 stolen bases over 132 games on the year.
Oakland A’s DFS SPIN
Jordan Diaz went 1-for-4 and drove in the Athletics’ lone run in Tuesday night’s loss to the Blue Jays. After being held off the board completely through the first six inning, Diaz finally broke through and delivered a run-scoring single off of Chris Bassitt in the seventh inning — pulling the A’s to within five runs at 6-1. That would be his only hit in four at-bats in the contest. On the season, the 23-year-old rookie infielder is slashing .241/.297/.409 with 10 homers and 25 RBI in 239 plate appearances on the season.

Blue Jays vs. A’s MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Over his last four starts, Ryu has a 1.80 ERA but a 4.16 FIP, indicating he hasn’t pitched as well as his ERA would suggest. As for Sears, he’s 1-3 with a 7.20 ERA and 5.66 FIP over his last 25 innings (five starts), so he’s been flat out bad. While the over didn’t get there yesterday, I do like it to cash today in Oakland.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: BLUE JAYS/A’S OVER 7.5
