This matchup comes on the heels of a thrilling contest on July 11, when the Athletics narrowly fell to the Blue Jays by a score of 7-6. The Athletics, struggling this season with a 39-57 record, are not contending for a playoff spot. In contrast, the Blue Jays are having a successful campaign at 55-39, bolstered by one of the strongest offenses in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Oakland is projected to start Jacob Lopez, a left-handed pitcher with a 2-5 record and an average ERA of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.26<\/a>. Although Lopez\u2019s 3.58 SIERA suggests he has been somewhat unlucky and could perform better, his current projections indicate he may struggle, averaging just 4.8 innings and allowing 2.9 earned runs. Compounding this challenge, Lopez faces a Blue Jays lineup that ranks 2nd in MLB batting average, making this a daunting assignment for the young pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, Kevin Gausman is set to take the mound for Toronto. Despite being labeled a below-average pitcher in the advanced-stat Power Rankings, Gausman has been effective in his 18 starts this season, holding a 6-6 record with an ERA of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.13<\/a>. His projections indicate he will pitch about 5.7 innings while allowing around 3.3 earned runs, which could be enough to stifle the Athletics\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n<p>With the Athletics\u2019 bats being average overall yet ranking 7th in home runs, they may look to exploit Gausman\u2019s vulnerabilities. However, the Blue Jays are favored in this contest, and the projections suggest they will likely dominate this matchup. <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Toronto Blue Jays Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Kevin Gausman &#8211; Over\/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-115\/-115)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Given that flyball hitters hold a big advantage over groundball pitchers, Kevin Gausman and his 36.1% underlying GB% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be in a tough spot today squaring off against 2 opposing GB batters.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> This mostly has to do with the way the hitter&#8217;s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Ernie Clement &#8211; Over\/Under 1.5 Hits (+145\/-190)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Ernie Clement has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (85% of the time), but he is penciled in 1st in the batting order in today&#8217;s game.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market.
