The Blue Jays swept the A's in their first series this season, outscoring them 20-6 in the three-game set. The two teams have traded off sweeps in Toronto, with Oakland winning all four last season and the Jays winning all four in 2017.

The Athletics have won four of their last five road games, putting up 9.2 runs per game in those five games. Since last season, the A's rank first in MLB in runs per game (5.60), home runs per game (1.74) and OPS (.803) on the road.

Toronto lost two home games to San Francisco on Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing 17 runs and getting shut out on Wednesday. The Blue Jays are 7-6 on the road this season but just 4-8 at home, batting an AL-worst .203 at the Rogers Centre.

Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer on Wednesday to lead Oakland over Texas. Semien has 32 hits this season, second most among shortstops behind St. Louis' Paul DeJong (34).

Justin Smoak went 7-for-13 with two homers and four RBI in the first series against the A's this year. He is slugging .705 with seven home runs in 16 games against Toronto since 2017, the highest slugging percentage against the A's since then (minimum 50 plate appearances).

Marcus Stroman has posted an ERA of 1.76 through five starts without allowing any home runs. He is the fourth Blue Jays pitcher in franchise history and second this season (Matt Shoemaker) to have an ERA under 1.80 through five starts of a season.

The Oakland Athletics will try to avenge a three-game sweep last week when they visit the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night and in the process spoil the major league debut of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
The Blue Jays, who swept the A's April 19-21 to complete a 6-1 road trip, announced after their 4-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday that Guerrero would be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to play Friday in the opener of the three-game series against Oakland.
