The Oakland Athletics dominance over the Toronto Blue Jays continued last night by thrashing them, 10-1. The A’s will go for their sixth straight victory against the Jays when they meet again tonight at the Oakland Coliseum. Trevor Cahill will get the nod for Oakland and he has mediocre numbers at 2-2, with a 3.43 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, but in 5 starts at home he has an ERA of only 0.80. Sam Gaviglio will start for Toronto. He comes into tonight’s contest at 2-3, with a 4.65 ERA, a 1.32 WHIP, and he has not won a game since May 25th. The Jays are 8-18 in their last 26 road games and 4-10 in their last 14 trips to Oakland. The A’s playoff chances are very much alive, sitting just 5 games back of the AL West leading Houston Astros, so they need to win. Toronto’s season is over and they don’t.
TONIGHT’S PICK: OAKLAND ATHLETICS
