Angels vs Blue Jays Prediction
I’m going to side with the Blue Jays here. I get the case to be made for the Angels as Los Angeles is at home here, but the problem for the Halos is that their offense has fallen off a cliff in recent games. It’s just really hard to trust this team to do their job right now. The Blue Jays have had success against Anderson in the past, and I think that Toronto gets back on track with a strong showing in Tuesday’s opener. Give me Toronto here.
