Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has had a great start to his 2026 campaign, and I expect him to continue to be productive this afternoon as the Toronto Blue Jays try to sweep the Athletics.<\/p>\n

Find out why in my Blue Jays vs. Athletics predictions and MLB picks<\/a> below.<\/p>\n

A\u2019s vs Blue Jays predictionsA\u2019s vs Blue Jays best bet: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 0.5 walks (+110)<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/a> ranked in the 89th percentile in walk rate last season among all qualified hitters in baseball.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s picked up right where he left off last season with walks in back-to-back games to start the season, totaling three in those two games.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m backing him to earn another free pass to first base this afternoon to go Over his 0.5 walks total, especially with A\u2019s starter Luis Morales<\/a> on the mound.<\/p>\n

He struggled with command all spring long, walking 14 batters in his final five preseason appearances.<\/p>\n

COVERS INTEL:<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has recorded a walk in seven straight games dating back to Game 2 of the World Series.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 0.5 hits<\/p>\n

George Springer Over 0.5 RBI<\/p>\n

Jays moneyline<\/p>\n

+350 at BET99<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll continue to back Guerrero Jr.’s eye at the plate today by taking him to record a hit. He’s riding a 14-game hitting streak and hopes to make it 15 in a row today.<\/p>\n

For my second leg, I’ll take George Springer<\/a> to record an RBI. He\u2019s a great fastball hitter, and Morales throws heat on more than 50% of his pitches. With the way the bottom of the lineup is hitting, it\u2019s putting Springer in good RBI positions.<\/p>\n

The Jays are also 7-3 in their last 10 games against the A\u2019s. Given how much success they\u2019ve had offensively in this series, and the erratic nature of Morales, I\u2019m backing the Jays to pick up the win and complete the series sweep today.<\/p>\n

A\u2019s vs Blue Jays home run pick: George Springer (+305)<\/p>\n

Morales is a fastball pitcher who was hit hard last season and throughout spring. He allowed eight homers in 10 appearances last season, and gave up three homers in his final three starts of spring.<\/p>\n

Springer handles a fastball extremely well, sporting a 1.076 OPS against the pitch last season with a team-high 14 home runs. He hit them hard, too, with a .746 xSLG and a hard-hit rate of 55%.<\/p>\n
