Both teams had to travel across the country w/o any rest. The A's never saw Chacin before and they'll have hard time scoring against him tonight. In his three starts for the Jays, he allowed only 5 ER in 19 innings, and all three games went under the total. Saarlos has 4 quality starts in 6 tries since joining the A's and he is looking for a revenge tonight. When these two teams meet in Oakland, the bats usually go cold, and when they meet in Toronto, it's usually a slugfest. Tonight they play in Oakland, in a pitcher's friendly ballpark. The A's are hitting under .200 against lefties and that average shouldn't improve against a pitcher they newer saw before.
UNDER 9 is my play of the day.
