8* play on Toronto Blue Jays.

The Oakland Athletics are coming to Toronto on the back of five consecutive wins and a three-game sweep in the Bronx. They're undefeated on the road this season but have lost six straight meetings at Rogers Centre, and this looks like a good spot for the Blue Jays to improve on their 8-9.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The A's hand the ball to Sonny Gray (2-1, 2.33 ERA) who has three quality starts to his name already this season and surrendered just one earned run in six innings against the Royals his last start. Tonight he'll make his first road start of the season after finishing 2015 0-2 with a 6.64 ERA in his final four outings away from home, and he'll have to figure out how to slow down Jose Bautista who is 5-for-10 in previous meetings. The Jays counter with Aaron Sanchez (1-0, 1.35) who has started the season with three straight quality starts as well and will make his first career start versus Oakland after tossing two scoreless innings of relief in previous seasons.

2. Situational - The Jays are back home in Toronto after a week on the road, and they're 5-2 in their last seven home games following a road trip of seven or more days.

3. X-Factor - Former Oakland hitter josh Donaldson was 7-for-25 against the A's last year, including 2-for-3 with a walk against Gray.

Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Blue Jays (8*)
