The Los Angeles Angels and Toronto Blue Jays meet Saturday in MLB action at TD Ballpark.
The Los Angeles Angels look to stay hot after winning five of their last six games. The Angels have scored 16 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their eight games. The Angels have won five straight games when scoring four or more runs. Mike Trout leads the Angels with 12 hits and six RBI while Shohei Ohtani and Jared Walsh have combined for 18 hits and 17 RBI. Jose Quintana gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 10.80 ERA and five strikeouts this season. Quintana is 7-2 with a 1.88 ERA and 61 strikeouts in his career against the Blue Jays.
The Toronto Blue Jays need a win here to snap a four-game losing streak. The Blue Jays have scored seven runs in their last three games and three or less runs in five of their eight games. The Blue Jays have lost three of their last four games when scoring three or less runs. Randal Grichuk leads the Blue Jays with eight hits and five RBI while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette have combined for 15 hits and seven RBI. Steven Matz gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA and nine strikeouts this season. This will be Matz’s first career game against the Angels.
The Angels are 7-1 in their last 8 Saturday games and 8-20 in their last 28 during game 3 of a series. The Blue Jays are 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 17-40 in their last 57 during game 3 of a series. The under is 6-2-1 in Angels last 9 road games. The under is 5-2 in Blue Jays last 7 overall. The Angels are 19-7 in the last 26 meetings in Toronto and 7-1 in the last 8 meetings.
The Toronto Blue Jays have the edge here in terms of starting pitching, as Matz looked great in his season debut and Quintana has been a shell of himself the last couple of years. However, it’s the Angels who are playing the better baseball overall and they have a consistent offense that keeps them in games. While the season is still young, we’re getting the team in better form and the even money. Give me the Angels.
