Toronto Blue Jays vs LA Angels Prediction
I don't love this game because neither the Blue Jays nor Angels have anything to play for at this stage, and they're both hit or miss. You can consider the Angels and the plus money because Carson Fulmer has been solid this season, but we're not getting enough bang for our buck at this price. The Toronto Blue Jays are the better team, no matter how you slice it, and Kevin Gausman has had some of his best games this season on the road. Give me the Blue Jays and the cheap price.
