Toronto’s Offense May Finally Be Heating Up
George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. both hit home runs against Shohei Ohtani en route to a 6-3 victory in Thursday night’s series-opener against the Angels.
The win comes one night after Toronto scored eight runs in an 8-1 road win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night, and the Blue Jays are now 7-4 SU over their last 11 games.
This recent uptick in offense over the last two games is a welcome change of pace for this Toronto team that had averaged only 2.86 runs per game over its previous 14 games.
The Blue Jays have been pitching well this season with a team ERA of 3.48, and they figure to be a legitimate contender this season if they can get their offense playing to its potential on a consistent basis.
Los Angeles Has Also Been Struggling On Offense
The Angels were red hot on offense at the beginning of this month averaging six runs per game across a 9-3 SU run during the first half of May. Los Angeles has cooled off at the plate since then however averaging 3.89 runs per game over its current 3-6 SU stretch.
Getting things back on track offensively could be difficult on Friday facing one of this year’s best pitchers in Alek Manoah. Bettors taking Los Angeles as their Angels vs Blue Jays prediction will be looking for Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani to come up with some big hits at home.
Blue Jays vs Angels Pick & Insights
Blue Jays: Keys to Victory
Alek Manoah ranks in the top five in the majors this season in both ERA and WHIP, and he hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in any of his eight starts this season. Toronto should pick up a win as a Blue Jays vs Angels prediction with any decent run production on offense.
Angels: Keys to Victory
Toronto has scored four runs or fewer in all eight of Manoah’s starts this season, averaging only 2.25 runs per game in those eight games. If Chase Silseth can keep that trend going, the Angels’ offense should have ample opportunities to pull off the upset as a Blue Jays vs Angels pick in this one.
