Trevor Cahill has an ERA that is not representative of the season he has had. He has had two blowups where he allowed 7 and 10 runs respectively. Otherwise he has been very reliable to make a quality start, as 75% of his other starts have resulted in opponents getting 3 runs or less. Ricky Romero is having his best year in a Blue Jays uniform. Romero has allowed just 4 runs covering 31.1 innings in his last four starts for a stellar ERA of 1.15. But, he's just 4-6 on the road, thanks to little run support. At home, the A's are 21-12 when facing an AL pitcher with an ERA under 3.50 the past two seasons. I like Oakland here. The A's have played UNDER to a 15-5-2 mark the last 22 times Cahill has taken the mound vs. a winning team. Overall they are 18-7-3 to the UNDER in his last 28 home starts. Take the home team and the UNDER in this one.
