The Blue Jays wrap up their west coast swing with game three of their series against the Oakland Athletics. Toronto sends Brett Cecil to the mound. The rookie left hander made a good debut at home against Cleveland giving up just two runs in six innings striking out six and walking none in a 10-6 no decision victory over the Indians. Cecil will face an Oakland team who is 3-9 against lefties, hitting just .202 and averaging only 3.2 runs per game. The Under has hit in seven of those twelve games as well.

Oakland sends Dallas Braden to the hill and he’s the ace of the staff. Braden is 3-3 with a 2.50 ERA this season and five Unders in six starts. Braden has improved over his last three starts, going 2-1 with a 2.16 ERA and three Unders. He faced Toronto in Canada losing 1-0 to the Jays. In the game he gave up only one earned run and five hits in 7.3 innings pitched. Braden has held down Kevin Millar (1-10), Marco Scutaro (1-5), Alex Rios (1-5), and Vernon Wells (0-2).
