Blue Jays vs Angels Prediction
Toronto comes into this contest playing some of their best baseball of the season, as they are looking for their eighth win in a row. The Blue Jays are 31-16 at home this year, while the Angels are 23-25 on the road. Los Angeles has been pretty competitive this year, but their pitching has definitely been an issue. The Angels are starting Anderson, who has allowed one earned run in his last 10.2 innings. The Jays are turning to Gausman, who has allowed two earned runs in his last 13.0 innings of work. The pitching matchup is pretty even in my opinion, but we have to keep backing Toronto on this hot streak. Take the Jays -1.5 here.
