BETTING TRENDS

LA Angels are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games against Toronto.

LA Angels are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games on the road.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of LA Angels' last 6 games when playing on the road against Toronto.

The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Toronto's last 9 games.

Toronto Blue Jays are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games.

 

Prediction

The Angels continue to struggle offensively as they have averaged only 1.6 runs per game in their last 5 games and have lost 6 of the last 7 games against the Blue Jays. For this game they'll send Reid Detmers to the mound who's having a good season but still the Angels are 7-12 with him on the mound. Mitch White will take the mound for the Blue Jays who's having a great season and has allowed 1 run in each of his last 2 starts. Detmers can hold the Blue Jays offense for 5 innings and White should have another good start. Take the under.

PICK: Under 9 (-110)
