2007-08-27 - Toronto Blue Jays at Oakland Athletics
A Sports Betting Pick by Dave Cokin
TOR Blue Jays (65-64) @ OAK Athletics (64-66)
Monday 27th August, 10:05 ET
Probable Pitchers:
A. Burnett (7-7, 3.85), E. Loaiza (1-0, 1.17)
-----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
Esteban Loaiza has historically been one of baseball's best out of the gate pitchers. His April numbers are pretty sensational.
Obviously, this is not April. But it is for Loaiza, who just came back from a season long DL stint for the A's.
And sure enough, the veteran righty with the nasty cutter was in his typical early season form is slamming the Blue Jays.
AJ Burnett has also been sharp for the Jays since his latest DL visit.
But given Loaiza's peculiar tendencies to be really tough to beat in his first several starts, I'm backing the A's tonight."
