Athletics @ Toronto picks

Lawrence Butler has swung it a mile better against righties, hitting .278 compared to a .146 average against lefties. The Athletics face the Toronto Blue Jays tonight, and they hand Jose Berrios the ball. Butler is 2-for-6 lifetime versus the right-hander with a bomb.

The Toronto Blue Jays are awful at the plate. They have scored six runs over the last six games and the middle of the order is nonexistent. It’s a great spot to fade this offense and back Jacob Lopez and his low leash. The Athletics' starter has a projected pitch count of 78 pitches. He was a reliever who transitioned to a starter and threw a season-high 91 pitches in his last outing where he threw seven frames and gave up one run on just three hits vs. the Phillies. He isn't a push over. There are many paths to this Under and that includes a long start dominating a bad offense or a shorter start where his Unders are all in play.
