According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, Josh Donaldson and the Blue Jays are -153 money line favorites over the A’s, who have odds of +138 to pull off the upset. The over/under, meanwhile, is sitting at 8.5 runs, down from the opening number of 9.
Bet Today’s A’s vs. Blue Jays Game
Chris Bassitt will take the hill today for Oakland, which spells trouble for the A’s. The team is just 1-5 in his last six road starts and are 1-4 in his last five starts versus a team with a losing record. The A’s have also lost seven of Bassitt’s last nine starts overall and they’re a dreadful 5-25 in their last 30 road games versus a left-handed starter.

That left-handed starter is J.A. Happ, who will toe the rubber for Toronto this afternoon. The Blue Jays are 4-1 in his last five home starts and 4-1 in his last five starts overall. They’ve also won 20 of their last 28 games versus American League West opponents despite losing last night to the A’s.
OUR PICK: The A’s have lost four of their last five games versus the Blue Jays and are just 1-6 in their last seven meetings in Toronto. The Blue Jays -153 price is somewhat steep but Oakland’s winning streak has to come to an end at some point and with the A’s struggles in Toronto, the home team is a great bet today.
