Matt Fargo

Blue Jays at A's
Pick: Over 8.5

Brett Cecil has allowed one run over his last three starts and his ERA over that span is a solid 0.45. It does not hide the fact that he has had his blowups however as his ERA on the year is at 4.27 while his WHIP sits at a below average 1.59 and that definitely works on our side against an Oakland lineup that is finally starting to hit the ball. The A’s send Trevor Cahill to the mound and it has been a rough one for him. He came out of the break with two decent efforts but allowed six runs on 10 hits in five innings in his most recent start. He has a 4.77 ERA on the season to go along with a 1.49 WHIP and that means baserunners which translates into runs. In nighttime starts, Cecil has a 1.75 WHIP while Cahill has a 1.61 WHIP. 7* Over Toronto Blue Jays/Oakland A’s
