A Fox News/Outkick betting columnist recommends backing the Toronto Blue Jays on the run line against the Athletics, largely on the strength of starting pitcher Dylan Cease's road form. Toronto have struggled for much of the season but have recently returned to playoff contention, with several hitters, including Vlad Guerrero Jr, in good form; the article argues Cease's away-game dominance is the key driver of the team's turnaround and makes the wager appealing.

Cease is 10-5 with a 2.25 ERA this season, but boasts an outstanding 8-1 record and 1.54 ERA specifically in road starts, and the Blue Jays have gone 8-4 overall (7-1 on the run line) in his away appearances. The Athletics, by contrast, are around 30 games under .500 and reportedly being rebuilt for the future rather than for immediate results, with the article noting their move towards Las Vegas. Their starter, Jacob Lopez, is 6-4 with a 4.71 ERA but has pitched better since the All-Star break; the columnist nonetheless tips the Blue Jays at -1.5 on the run line.
