The under is 6-1 in Los Angeles’ last 7 home games and the under is 5-2-2 in their last 9 Saturday games. Toronto is 5-0 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings in Los Angeles.
Pick
Los Angeles let Game 1 of this series slip away when they blew their 3-1 lead in the seventh inning. Both of these teams have been solid at the plate, but Toronto has one of the best batting averages in all of baseball. Los Angeles will try to slow the Blue Jays down with Tyler Anderson, who threw six scoreless innings against Oakland in his first start. I like the Angels here behind another strong performance from Anderson.
