The Marlins have the 2nd fewest road wins in the Majors.<br \/>\n2. The Diamondbacks have lost 6 straight games.<br \/>\n3. The Diamondbacks rank 7th in the Majors in runs scored. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63744&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>This season the A\u2019s are 20-28 at home and the Blue Jays are 20-28 on the road. <\/p>\n<p>In the first game of this 3-game series yesterday the Blue Jays beat the A\u2019s 7-1. <\/p>\n<p>The Blue Jays have won 2 straight and they are in 2nd place in the AL East 4.5 games back of the New York Yankees. They beat the A\u2019s yesterday, but are still a road betting favorite tonight facing Sonny Gray, who was less than stellar in his last start. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=10&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The A\u2019s had won 2 in a row before losing to the Blue Jays in this first game of this series. They are 9 games under .500 and are in the basement of the AL West 11 games back of the L.A. Angels. <\/p>\n<p>Gray gave up 5 earned runs in 6 innings in his last outing, which was a 5-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins. In his career he is 1-1 with an ERA of 2.08 facing Toronto. <\/p>\n<p>Gray was solid in his first several starts at home this season, but has lost the last 2 and the A\u2019s are only 1-4 in their last 5 home games when he has gotten the starting nod. <\/p>\n<p>Felix Doubront was also tagged up in his last outing giving up 5 earned runs in 5 innings in a 11-10 loss to the Kansas City Royals. He has not had much success against Oakland in his career going 1-2 with an ERA of 7.85 in 4 starts facing them while walking 13 batters. <\/p>\n<p>Obviously, stats do not mean everything and this really applies to the A\u2019s, who rank 5th in the Majors in runs scored and 6th in team ERA. The Toronto pitching has struggled this season ranking 22nd in team ERA&lt; but their offense has scored the most runs in baseball. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63745&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The A\u2019s had won 4 straight over the Blue Jays and 4 in a row at home before falling to them in Game 1 of this series. <\/p>\n<h3>MLB Betting Trends<\/h3>\n<p>* Toronto is 1-5 in their last 6 games as an underdog.<br \/>\n* Toronto is 4-9 in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.<br \/>\n* Oakland is 8-21 in their last 29 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.<br \/>\n* Oakland is 6-16 in their last 22 home games vs. a left-handed starter.<br \/>\n* Oakland has an Under record of 11-5-1 in their last 17 games. <\/p>\n<h3>4* Cappers MLB Free Pick<\/h3>\n<p>I think Gray will have a good outing tonight and their offense will help him out and Oakland will take the 2nd game of this series. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be providing 4* free MLB plays on the blog all season long, and check out our <a title=\"MLB Plays\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/sportscapping.php?premium_picks\/leg,mlb\/afc,AF23_15\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>EXPERTS for guaranteed premium MLB Baseball\u00a0plays<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"MLB Betting Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/mlb.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated MLB\u00a0Betting Odds.<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=65348&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for Week MLB Picks?
