Blowout Rout MLB 10*
(MLB) Toronto vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -120.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Win
#973 ASA TOP PLAY ON Toronto -120 over LA Angels, Friday at 9:35 PM ET - Toronto picked up the win here last night topping the Angels 6-3. That’s 6 wins in the last 9 games for the Jays and we like them to get another one tonight. The offense has been up and down this season for Toronto but we expect them to have success tonight vs Silseth, a rookie starter making just his 3rd appearance in the Majors. He’s started 2 games thus far, both vs Oakland whose offense ranks near the bottom of MLB in a number of key categories. He didn’t allow a run in the first game and then the A’s got to him with 3 ER’s in just 4.1 innings last week. Silseth allowed 8 baserunners in that game. Prior to his 2 starts vs Oakland, he had never pitched above AA level and had pretty average numbers including in college where his ERA 4.35 and 5.55 in his 2 seasons at Tennessee and Arizona. The Blue Jays should have a solid edge on the mound with Manoah who has a 1.62 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 8 starts this season. He has not allowed more than 2 ER’s in any of his starts this year and has walked just 5 batters in his last 7 starts. He had an ERA of just 3.22 in his 20 starts last year so Manoah has been very consistent. LAA has struggled offensively as of late averaging a full 1 RPG less over their last 10 compared to their season average. They have won just 3 of their last 9 games and could be without one of their top offensive performers tonight as Ohtani injured his back pitching last night. The bullpen numbers of these 2 teams are fairly even for the season, however Toronto relievers have been much better of late with an ERA of 3.00 and a batting average allowed of .195 over their last 10 games compared to the Angels 5.08 ERA and .250 BA allowed. We have this money line set higher in favor of the Jays so our value is on Toronto tonight.
