Credit to Robbie Ray for a great season. But the A's are too good of a team to be this big of an underdog. I'm going to hedge, though, and lay a small price by taking Oakland on the run line at plus 1 1/2 runs.

If given 1 1/2 runs, the A's would be 11-5 in their last 16 games. Toronto would be 3-10 in its last 13 games if minus 1 1/2 runs.

I'm not fading the lefthanded Ray here, it's all about getting value with the A's. Oakland is 39-16 in its last 55 games versus a southpaw. The A's also rank in the top four in hits and homers when playing on the road.

A's starter Cole Irvin is a solid middle-of-the-rotation starter.
