-The Athletics vs TO Blue Jays Over 8.0 (-115) | 0.5 Units
‍
Why This Pick?
‍
The Blue Jays have been hitting the ball way too well for me to think this total stays Under 8. And despite their struggles in the first game of this series, the As put 7 runs on the board yesterday (not that I think they’ll get a whole 7 runs past Kevin Gausman…). In addition, JP Sears’ (5.18 ERA) last 4 straight outings have seen the Over cash in spades. Sears allowed a staggering 10 hits and 9 runs in his last outing against the Astros, and 8 hits with 6 earned runs against the Angels back on May 21st. The pitching advantage here is so vast, it’s wildly unlikely that Sears keeps the Jays in check. While I think the Athletics will contribute a few runs, it’s far more plausible that Toronto runs up a steep total. I’m on the Over to hit, friends.
