MLB - 965 Toronto Blue Jays @ 966 Oakland Athletics
(Starting Pitchers: E. Rogers vs A. Griffin)
Oakland will start A.J. Griffin tonight, who is coming from three runs allowed against Houston in 6.1 innings last Wednesday. He is coming from three subpar performances on his last four outings and it's important to note that even though he won his last outing, he still allowed two homeruns to the lowly Astros. Griffin has poor numbers against RH batters (4.86 FIP and 4.29 xFIP), so Reyes, Melky, Bautista and Encarnacion will be ready to pound him today, especially with Toronto's offense being #2 in the league over the last two weeks and #4 over the last month.
On the other side, Esmil Rogers is being Toronto's best pitcher. He had two poor outings against Tampa Bay over his last six games, but he dominated in his other four games, even though he faced the LA Dodgers, Cleveland, Detroit and Boston! Oakland is coming from a good offensive game yesterday against the Angels with 10 runs scored, but they have been average as of late on offense. With Toronto having a nice pitching and offensive edges tonight, I can see them making this game at least quite competitive and so, I'll be taking them tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 965 Toronto Blue Jays RL +1 (w/ E. Rogers) @ +100 / 2.00 on 5Dimes
