My Prediction
Toronto Blue Jays by 3Well butter my biscuit, we've got the Toronto Blue Jays gracing us with their presence at Angel Stadium, hoping to clip the wings of the Los Angeles Angels, a bit dramatically of course.
Moundmen sure do sway the fate of the game and the Jays toss their trust into Jose Urena. His current season stats, well, they do need some work. Tyler Anderson, on the other hand, is the confident posterboy for the Angels with a respectable 2.71 ERA this season.
Batter's box ain't a picnic but the Jays' Nathan Lukes and Bo Bichette have been holding their own, clubbing numbers of .306 and .301 respectively. Can't ignore Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s 15 RBIs either, he's been busy at bat. The Angels bat brigade led by Zachary Neto and Logan O'Hoppe have shown some power, though their averages aren't breaking any records.
Our memory lane trip to last year's matchups show the Jays sweeping the Angels off their perches. This season, though, both teams have been dancing on thin ice, the Jays with a 16-18 record and the Angels, sigh, at 13-20.
Oh, and recent form does tell its own story, doesn't it? The Jays are keeping their fans at the edge, with a tight string of results. The Angels have been through a rough patch, hoping to reverse a let's-not-talk-about-it performance against Detroit.
So, here I am tying up a fancy bow of prediction around this whole conundrum. Angel Stadium may lean in favor of batters but the Angels will need more than home advantage if they plan to counteract the Jays who just seem to have a bit more wind under their wings.
