Blue Jays 7, Angels 3<\/p>\n

PASS.<\/p>\n

I like the Blue Jays (-165) to win but not at those odds. I’ll take my wager to the run line.<\/p>\n

BET BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+120).<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays enter Friday\u2019s matchup riding high after a dominant 4-game sweep of the Yankees. They have won 5 straight games and 7 of their last 8 contests. They\u2019ve been tough to beat at Rogers Centre, where they\u2019re 29-16, thanks to a strong .273 team batting average at home\u2014third-best in the majors. SS Bo Bichette has been a key part of that success, hitting .328 with 9 home runs and 29 RBIs at home.<\/p>\n

The Angels face a tough task against Lauer, especially given their struggles against southpaws, hitting just .219 as a team\u2014the second-worst mark in MLB. While Los Angeles has shown signs of improvement, Toronto has had their number, winning 8 of the last 10 meetings. With the Blue Jays clicking on all cylinders, they should take care of business comfortably on Friday.<\/p>\n

BET OVER 9.5 (-105).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m taking the Over on Friday, with strong trends backing it up. The Over has hit in 5 of the last 6 meetings between the teams. Toronto has gone Over in 8 of its last 10 games. Lauer has seen the Over cash in 2 of his last 3 starts, and Hendricks in 3 of his last 4 starts.<\/p>\n
