This is a 10* on TORONTO

Oakland held on for a 7-5 win over Baltimore on Sunday, but that was their only win of the series and they’re just 3-5 since a 13-game win streak was snapped. Remember that they also started the season 1-7. So that 13-game win streak serves as a bit of a “mirage'' in our estimation. Toronto has won seven of nine and just swept the Braves over the weekend. Only four teams are currently allowing a fewer number of runs per game than the Blue Jays are. That seems pertinent with Steven Matz ready to get the nod Monday. Matz has a 4-1 team start record in 2021 and is 3-0 on the road thanks to a 2.60 ERA and 0.81 WHIP. His last start was his only bad one, but we think he’ll shake it off against a lineup that is hitting only .217 this year. These teams did not play last season, but the Jays won all six meetings in 2019. A’s starter Frankie Montas has really struggled so far, especially in his three starts at home where he has a 9.23 ERA and 1.74 WHIP. Play on TORONTO
