Game Preview
The Toronto Blue Jays will take a trip to RingCentral Coliseum to start their three-game series against the Oakland Athletics. The Blue Jays are 3rd in the American League east division, but the chances of them becoming leaders are incredibly slim as the New York Yankees have a 14-game lead.
Toronto is +0.5 games ahead of the Cleveland Guardians in the wildcard standings, but they also are on a 3-game losing streak, which means they can’t afford to keep losing games against weaker teams.
For the Oakland Athletics it’s a whole different story, they are the worst team in the MLB, with just 26 wins this season. They’ve lost 24 of their last 30 games and have won just one of their last seven games
Alek Manoah is making his 16th start of the season for the Toronto Blue Jays today. He is holding a 9-2 record with a 2.09 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP over 94.2 innings pitched. In his last appearance, Manoah allowed 3 runs on 6 hits and 1 walk while striking out 6 across 7 frames against the Boston Red Sox.
On the other side, the Oakland Athletics are sending out Cole Irvin to the mound, who is making his 14th start this season. Irvin carries a 2-6 record with a 3.58 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP over 75.1 innings pitched. On Wednesday, he picked up a loss against the New York Yankees after he allowed 5 runs on 6 hits and 1 walk across 7 innings while striking out 5.
While the Toronto Blue Jays haven’t been looking as great as they used to earlier on in the season, they are still a much better team overall than the Oakland Athletics. In addition to that, they are sending out one of their best pitchers for today’s game, so a win from the Athletics would be a huge upset.
