My Bonus Play for Monday night is on the Toronto Blue Jays and Oakland Athletics staying Under at Oakland Coliseum.
Since every MLB wager on a run line or total auto-lists pitchers, I want you to be sure the two pitchers on your ticket, when making this play, are J.A. Happ and Sean Manaea. If they are not the pitchers of record when making your play, disregard this play.
That's because Happ returned from the disabled list in his last outing and allowed just two runs over four innings. He was limited to 81 pitches since he hadn't started a game since mid-April, but I'm thinking he will be closer to 90-95 for this outing.
Happ will use his full arsenal to neutralize the A's and keep their bats in check.
With Manaea, he's enjoying a personal three-game win-streak, during which he's allowed just three earned runs over 19 innings. He’s gone seven innings in back-to-back starts, striking out a combined 17 against the Yankees and Indians, and now gets a Toronto team that will play its 11th game in as many days - all at home - and now has to play at 10:05 p.m. east coast time.
Manaea will be pitching against a tired lineup, and it will show.
Play this one low.
2* UNDER Blue Jays/Athletics (Happ/Manaea)
