Toronto Blue Jays vs. Oakland Athletics: A Lefty’s Worst Nightmare (and Jacob Lopez’s Reality)
The Oakland Athletics have a plan tonight: throw lefty Jacob Lopez at the Toronto Blue Jays. It’s bold. It’s brave. It’s also about as smart as betting on a roulette wheel with a “Bankrupt” space. Lopez has a 15.43 ERA in two career starts against the Jays, and Toronto’s lefty-mashing Ernie Clement is here to party. Clement’s OPS against southpaws? 1.074. That’s not a typo—it’s a one-way ticket to Extra Basesville. DraftKings has Clement’s Over 1.5 hits at -345, which means the books think he’ll one-up Lopez’s career. Take the Over.
And don’t sleep on Davis Schneider, who’s 2-for-2 against Lopez with an .821 OPS. FanDuel has his Over 0.5 hits at -135, which is basically giving away free money. As for the A’s? Their lineup has the punchless energy of a group text apology.
George Springer’s Over 0.5 runs (-143) is a lock. Springer’s July OBP is .432—he’s not just a hitter; he’s a run generator with a side hustle. Take the Under on the game total? Good luck. The Blue Jays’ .259 BA and A’s 8.6 K/9? This’ll be a 10-run fest. DraftKings has the Over 10 at 1.87, which is a better price than your ex’s heart.
Final Score Prediction: Toronto 7, Oakland 3.
Why? Because Lopez’s ERA vs. the Jays is 15.43, not a metaphor.
Prop Picks:
- Ernie Clement Over 1.5 hits (-345)
- George Springer Over 0.5 runs (-143)
- Game Over 10 runs (1.87)
The A’s are 31-56. Math says they’ll lose. Comedy? That’s a given.
