The Toronto Blue Jays fell to the Athletics last night, 6-5, in Sac but bounce back tonight in the second leg of their 3-game set. Toronto sits a game back of Cleveland for the last AL wild card spot and cannot afford to lose to the lowly A’s. José Soriano is expected to get the nod for the Jays and he will right the ship. Soriano is 11-7 with a respectable ERA of 3.52 and a 1.29 WHIP. The Athletics’ expected starter is Jack Perkins. Vladi and company should crush this guy. Perkins is 3-10 with a bloated ERA of 6.50, a 1.52 WHIP, and the Athletics are 0-7 in his last 7 home starts. Despite last night’s win, the Athletics still own the worst home record in the majors at 26-44. The Jays are the side to consider regardless of the juice.
