The Toronto Blue Jays earned their first series win of the season with a 7-4 triumph at Minnesota on Thursday. The Jays scored a total 19 runs as they claimed three of four games, and I think they'll ride the momentum to another big effort here at Oakland Friday night.

Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman (0-3, 1.99 ERA) is still be without a win here in 2019, but through little fault of his own. The 27 year old right-hander has received just six runs of support in his four starts, but that should change here as Toronto's bats have come alive lately.

The A's hand the ball to Aaron Brooks (2-1, 4.24 ERA) who tossed six scoreless innings in his season debut, but his two outings since have not been quite as sharp.

The Athletics have played just three games over the last six days, which could mess with their rhythm. They didn't play yesterday and are 1-6 in their last seven games following an off day.
