Toronto Blue Jays vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m on Toronto here. I think the offensive outburst on Sunday was the turning point for Toronto to bounce back from their slow start to the year and I think they can have success here against Detmers as I do like this Toronto lineup against left-handed pitching. The Angels have been swinging a hot bat as well, but Dylan Cease has been outstanding up to this point and I thin the starting pitching edge is enough for me to back the Blue Jays here.
