- Analysis
- At 3:35 pm, our selection is on the Oakland Athletics over the Toronto Blue Jays. Another Major League Baseball season and another over-achieving Oakland A's team. The team that always seems to do more with less is doing it again in 2021. The A's won the first two games of this four-game series to bump their record to 19-12 and their lead in the AL West to 2 1/2 games. The pitching depth is once again one of the best in the Majors as a healthy RHP Mike Fiers didn't even get his first start until April 30 when manager Bob Melvin decided to go to a six-man rotation. But now the 35-year-old veteran's presence as a starter is even more important as the team just put LH Jesus Luzardo on the IL with a broken finger. Fiers' first outing was solid, as he threw six innings, allowing three runs on six hits in a quality start against Baltimore. He should be able to build on that today especially since he's back here at home where he has an amazing 15-5 record and 3.43 ERA in 33 career games (32 starts) covering 189 innings. Take Oakland. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
