You can look at aa.com to find availability of AA operated flights. Look only at sAAver availability. However, to find the number of BA miles required you must use BA's partner award charts which are published here:

Note that there are three charts, based on the number of partner airlines used. Read carefully to understand which chart applies to your trip.
BA actually has four different redemption schemes: one for travel on BA only; one for travel on BA plus just one partner; one for travel on just one partner without any BA flights; and one for travel on two or more partners -- with or without BA flights. Redemptions using two or more partners are distance based; the other three types of redemptions are zone based.
