Under the total often is the way to go in these early start time get away day games where everyday players frequently get rested. I believe that will be the case in this matchup. Marcus Stroman has become Toronto's ace and Oakland's Sean Manaea is underrated.

Manaea hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in five of his last six starts. His day time ERA is 3.64. Toronto is a very overrated offensive club ranking 27th in runs and batting average.

Stroman has been dominant his past three starts with a 0.84 ERA. He has allowed only four earned runs during his past five starts giving up 26 hits in 34 innings. I don't think it's a stretch to say he's on the verge of stardom. Stroman also draws a weak-hitting opponent. Oakland is 25th in runs and 30th in batting. The A's are averaging only two runs per game during their last four games.

Note the conditions, too. The roof is going to be closed at Rogers Centre for this game, which is a plus for the under. The slated home plate umpire is Will Little. The under has cashed 56 percent of the time the past two years when he's been the home plate ump.
