Blue Jays at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 7, Blue Jays 2

Money line

BET ANGELS (-135) since they’ve been steamed up by sharp action, L.A. has edges in the starting pitching matchup and a better lineup and Toronto is just 3-5 vs. left-handed starters.

The Angels opened as -120 favorites but heavy, early action has moved their price up to the current number. Also, Berrios’ advanced pitching stats, both on the year and vs. the Angels, are dreadful.

Berrios ranks in the 13th percentile or worse in expected-batting average (xBA), wOBA (xwOBA) and slugging percentage (xSLG) slash rate, exit velocity (EV), hard-hit rate and barrel and whiff rates, per Statcast.

Against active Angels hitters, Berrios has a .336/.428/.601 xBA-xwOBA-xSLG slash rate with a 95.3 mph EV in 50 plate appearances.

The Angels lineup ranks 2nd in wRC+ (115) and 4th in both wOBA (.326) and WAR (8.8), according to FanGraphs. Toronto’s lineup has a 97 wRC+ (ranked 17th), .305 wOBA (19th) and 5.0 WAR (18th).

BET ANGELS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread

SPRINKLE on the ANGELS -1.5 (+155), if at all, because of their aforementioned edges in this matchup, Berrios has a 6.26 ERA in his last 5 starts vs. the Angels and 4 of L.A.’s 6 wins in Sandoval starts have been by at least 2 runs.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-102).

Toronto is 6-3 O/U in Berrios’ 9 starts and 6-0 O/U in their last 6 games as a road underdog. Plus, the Over has cashed in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings.

However, I’m more confident in the Angels’ ML and Sandoval has been dealing thus far. The Angels are 1-5-1 O/U in Sandoval’s 7 starts and 10-15-2 O/U at home.

Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (27-20) host the Toronto Blue Jays (25-20) for Game 3 of their 4-game series Saturday at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Toronto leads 2-0 and the Blue Jays have a plus-4 run differential.

Toronto won the series opener 6-3 Friday with Blue Jays SP Hyun Jin Ryu outpitching Angels SP Shohei Ohtani. The Blue Jays beat the Angels 4-3 Friday thanks to a go-ahead Toronto C Alejandro Kirk run on an error off of LF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. single in the top of the 9th inning.

Blue Jays at Angels projected starters

LHP Yusei Kikuchi vs. RHP Michael Lorenzen 

Kikuchi is 2-1 with a 3.47 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 5.7 BB/9 and 9.9 K/9 in 36 1/3 IP over 8 starts.

  • Last start: No-decision in Toronto’s 3-2 home loss to the Cincinnati Reds with 4 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, 3 BB and 7 K.
  • 2021 vs. the Angels: 0-1 with a 10.00 ERA (9 IP, 10 ER), 15 H, 4 HR, 1 BB and 15 K in 2 starts.

Lorenzen is 5-2 with a 3.05 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 6.3 K/9 in 41 1/3 IP across 7 starts.

  • Last start: Win, 5-3, Saturday at home vs. the Oakland Athletics with 6-scoreless IP, 3 H, 2 BB and 5 K.

Blue Jays at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 6, Blue Jays 4

Money line

GIMME the ANGELS (-112) because they have an edge over the Blue Jays (-108) in hitting and relief pitching.

L.A.’s lineup is 8th in wRC+ (112) and 12th in wOBA (.319) vs. left-handed pitching (per FanGraphs). While Toronto’s lineup has a 97 wRC+ (ranked 17th), .304 wOBA (19th) and 0.32 BB/K rate (24th) against righties.

Also, L.A.’s bullpen is 10th in xFIP (3.75) with better swing-and-miss rates than Toronto’s bullpen who’s 15th in xFIP (3.86).

BET 1 unit on the ANGELS (-112).

Run line/Against the spread

SPRINKLE on the ANGELS -1.5 (+180) ALTERNATE RL since their last 10 meetings with the Blue Jays have been decided by at least 2 runs and L.A. has a slightly better starter Saturday.

Lorenzen and Kikuchi’s advanced pitching numbers aren’t far apart, but Lorenzen is 3-1 SU at home with a 2.38 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 2.8 K/BB rate.

The ANGELS -1.5 (+175) is juicy based on all their aforementioned edges in this matchup.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-107) only because I prefer L.A.’s ML and a vast majority of the market is betting the Over but the total hasn’t budged, which is suspicious.

But, Blue Jays-Angels have gone Over the total in 8 of their last 11 meetings, L.A. is 5-2 O/U in Lorenzen’s 7 starts and Toronto is 9-1-1 O/U in the last 14 road games against a righty starter.

Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Toronto Blue Jays (24-20) meet the Los Angeles Angels (27-19) Friday in the 2nd of their 4-game series at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Toronto leads 1-0.

The Blue Jays won the series opener 6-3 Thursday in a Japanese starting pitching duel with Toronto SP Hyun Jin Ryu allowing just 2 ER while L.A. SP Shohei Ohtani surrended 5 ER.

Blue Jays at Angels projected starters

RHP Alek Manoah vs. RHP Chase Silseth

Manoah is 5-1 with a 1.62 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 50 IP across 8 starts.

  • Last start: Won 3-1 Saturday at home vs. the Cincinnati Reds with 8 IP, 1 ER, 7 H, 0 BB and 4 K.
  • 2021 vs. the Angels: One start, a 10-2 win in L.A. Aug. 11 with 6 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 1 HR, 2 BB and 11 K.

Silseth is 1-1 with a 2.61 ERA (10 1/3 IP, 3 ER), 7 H, 2 HR, 4 BB and 10 K in 2 starts.

  • Last start: Lost 4-2 May 20 at home vs. the Oakland Athletics with 4 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 2 HR, 2 BB and 6 K.

Blue Jays at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 6, Angels 2

Money line

LEAN BLUE JAYS (-120) because this line is suspiciously low since Manoah has Cy Young-caliber stuff and Silseth is only making his 3rd career start.

Also, there’s a line freeze in the betting market with three-fourths of the cash being on Toronto (per Pregame.com), but this line hasn’t budged off the opener.

Manoah grades in the 86th percentile or better in hard-hit rate (92%), barrel rate (92%), BB% (87%), expected slugging percentage (88%), expected ERA (86%) and expected wOBA (86%), according to Statcast. All 4 of Manoah’s pitches have a minus-run value.

However, between the line freeze and L.A.’s edges in hitting and relief pitching, I wouldn’t bet more than a half-unit on the BLUE JAYS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS because the Angels +1.5 (-170) have a more productive lineup and bullpen and the Blue Jays -1.5 (+135) are just 10-21 RL as favorites.

Over/Under

PASS because I don’t have enough confidence in L.A.’s starter to go with the Under 7.5 (+100) and the Over 7.5 (-125) appears to be the sharp side since it’s more expensive.

That said, these teams have a combined 1-9 O/U record when these starters are on the mound, the Blue Jays are 11-19-1 O/U as favorites, and the Angels are 9-14-2 O/U at home.

Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Toronto Blue Jays (23-20) head out west Friday to start a 4-game series with the Los Angeles Angels (27-18) at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Toronto split a 2-game series at the St. Louis Cardinals Monday-Tuesday after winning 2 consecutive series. The Blue Jays are 6-4 straight up (SU) in their last 10 games.

L.A. had a 3-game winning streak snapped in Wednesday’s 7-2 loss to the Texas Rangers and the Angels are just 5-5 SU in the last 10.

The Angels beat the Blue Jays 4-3 in last year’s season series, but Toronto outscored L.A. 41-29 in those meetings.

Blue Jays at Angels projected starters

LHP Hyun Jin Ryu vs. RHP Shohei Ohtani

Ryu is 1-0 with a 6.00 ERA (18 IP, 12 ER), 21 H, 3 HR, 3 BB and 11 K across 4 starts.

  • Last start: Won 2-1 Friday at home vs. the Cincinnati Reds with 6 scoreless IP, 6 H, 0 BB and 3 K.

Ohtani is 3-2 with a 2.82 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 12.4 K/9 in 38 1/3 IP over 7 starts.

  • Last start: No-decision in L.A.’s 6-5 loss at the Rangers May 18 with 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 2 BB and 7 K.

Blue Jays at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 7, Blue Jays 3

Money line

RISK 1 unit on the ANGELS (-170) instead of betting 1 unit because L.A.’s ML is pricey and we are getting to the party a little late. Sharp action has pushed the Angels from a -135 opening favorite up to the current number (per Pregame.com).

Ohtani’s outstanding pitching peripherals support his amazing basic numbers, Ryu grades in the bottom 10% of the MLB in several advanced pitching categories (per Statcast).

L.A. is 8-4 SU vs. left-handed pitching and ranks highly in several advanced hitting metrics while Toronto’s lineup is mediocre against righties and struggles on the road.

BET the ANGELS (-170), but save a little for L.A.’s RL.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN to the ANGELS -1.5 (+130) only because I’d hold out for a better price and we have enough money in L.A.’s ML.

The Angels have a 3-phase edge over the Blue Jays +1.5 (-160) in starting and relief pitching and hitting so the Angels will most likely win by more than 1 run.

Over/Under

SPRINKLE on the OVER 7.5 (-110) only because L.A.’s ML is my favorite wager in this game.

However, the Angels should rake Ryu, L.A. is 8-4-1 O/U as home favorites, Toronto is 4-0 O/U in the last 4 games as road underdogs and the Over has cashed in 4 of the last 5 Blue Jays-Angels meetings.
