American League takes center stage on Tuesday as the Oakland Athletics and Toronto Blue Jays face off in a battle of two oft-injured pitchers. BetOnline.com has the Toronto Blue Jays -145 odds favorites against the Oakland Athletics +125 with the over/under set at 7.5 runs.
The Athletics took two of three at home against Cleveland last weekend, and Rich Harden (1-0, 0.82) will try to bounce back after lasting just five innings in a 4-0 loss to Boston, giving up no runs on four hits. Harden needs to build up his stamina after starting just 13 games over the past two seasons.
The Blue Jays swept Boston at home last weekend, and A.J. Burnett (1-0, 3.00) was solid in his first start, allowing a pair of runs on five hits in six innings in a 5-2 win over the Yankees. Burnett missed 48 games last season on the disabled list, but when he was available, he was the perfect sidekick to ace Roy Halladay in the rotation.
The Athletics have won six of their last ten against the Blue Jays, who took two of three in Oakland the last time these two met. The Toronto bats are off to a good start, so look for the Blue Jays to come away with the victory. Get your free MLB Pick in Now!
