Betting Trends for vs
Oakland SP Andrew Triggs left Thursday’s start with right forearm discomfort and his status is uncertain. Through 43 games, Oakland ranks 13th in batting average and 10th in runs scored. For the season, Toronto ranks 23rd in batting average and 4th in runs scored. Take Toronto to get a much needed victory at home on Saturday. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Blue Jays 6-3.
