After taking the series last night in dramatic, walk-off fashion from the Atlanta Braves, the Athletics take on the Toronto Blue Jays in the first game of final series of the first half tonight at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. The jays enter tonight’s matchup in first place in the American League East with a 54-39 record, while the A’s sit in fifth in the AL West with a 39-56 record.
Luis Severino gets his second consecutive start at home, where he’s struggled mightily, not that he’s been stellar on the road either. He’s yet to make it past the fifth inning since June 13.
