Odds and Bets: Blue Jays Look to Bassitt in Push for Wild Card

Best Sports Bets for Tuesday, September 5th

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Oakland Athletics

The 76-62 Toronto Blue Jays are still fighting for that wild card spot. What was assumed to be an easy set of games against the basement-dwelling 42-96 Oakland A’s didn’t really look like a walk in the park after a tight first game of the three-game series.

Jordan Romano got the win in the 6-5 victory over the A’s on Monday night. Francisco Perez was on the mound for the A’s in the loss.

Oakland is once again priced as the underdog tonight when they take on the injury-plagued Jays.

Best Bet: Blue Jays -202

Toronto will give the start to Chris Bassitt, with Ken Waldichuk on the mound for Oakland.

It’ll be Bassitt’s 29th start of the season, in which he is 13-7 with a 3.81 ERA. He has 151 strikeouts in 165 innings pitched.
