Angels at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Angels 2

Moneyline

PASS.

The Blue Jays (-158) are just too pricey to take here and not worth the risk. They are better played on the run line. The Angels have played too poorly as of late to suggest they could come out on top.

Avoid this wager.

Run line/Against the spread

BET BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+132).

The Angels have dropped 7 of their last 9 games, and in each of those defeats, they lost by more than 1 run. Toronto is 3-0 ATS against the Angels as well, covering all 3 games August 12-14.

The Blue Jays are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. They have scored at least 7 runs in 2 straight games, so their bats have been hot. Taking on a struggling pitcher, they should be able to score enough to cover.

Take BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+132).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-122).

The Blue Jays are 5-4 O/U in their last 9 games, but they have allowed 3 or fewer runs in 3 of their last 5. In those 9 games, they have given up 3 or fewer runs in 6 of them, so their defense has played at a high level.

The Angels are 3-6 O/U in their last 9 games and 60-62-5 O/U on the season. Los Angeles has struggled immensely on offense, scoring more than 3 runs in just 1 of its last 9 games.

With those trends in mind, expect fewer runs, and take UNDER 9 (-122).
