T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays.

I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. The Blue Jays have won 2 games in a row including the 1st game of this series yesterday and I think they can win this game too. Their offense is starting to get hot again with 14 runs scored in their 2 most recent games and I think they can continue that good run of scoring here. The Angels have lost 2 games in a row now and their offense has really died down in those games. They have only put up 5 runs in their 2 most recent games while giving up 13 runs. I think the Blue Jays offense is going to have another big game here and I expect them to put up the runs again. Chase Silseth (1-1, 2.61 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he hasn't been bad this year but he has also pitched in 2 games only. He is also a rookie so those 2 starts are the only 2 MLB games he has ever pitched in in his career and both starts were against the A's too who don't have a very good lineup. I think the Blue Jays are going to get to him here for some runs and I expect Silseth to look shaky again after giving up 3 runs in his most recent start. Alek Manoah (5-1, 1.62 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has been having a great year, I expect that to continue here. He hasn't given up more than 2 earned runs in a start this year and he just pitched through 8 innings in his most recent start while only giving up 1 run in that game. He has been a great pitcher all year and I think he will have another great game here to help put the Blue Jays on top in this game. I like the Blue Jays to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays.
