Ernie Clement<\/a>\u2019s bat is sizzling right now, and with the Angels<\/a> sending a southpaw to the mound, I\u2019m banking on the lefty-masher to stay hot.<\/p>\n

Read on to see why in my Blue Jays<\/a> vs. Angels predictions and free MLB picks<\/a> on Monday, April 20.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays vs Angels predictionsBlue Jays vs Angels best bet: Ernie Clement Over 1.5 total bases (+115)<\/p>\n

Ernie Clement<\/a> is riding a four-game hit streak while recording a hit in eight of his last nine games.<\/p>\n

The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> infielder has gone Over his total bases prop in five of those, including each of his last three outings.<\/p>\n

Clement is starting to find his power stroke, too, doubling in three straight, with six total two-baggers in this nine-game stretch, averaging 2.11 bases per game.<\/p>\n

The pitching matchup is in his favor as well.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Angels<\/a> are starting LHP Reid Detmers<\/a> tonight, who Clement should be able to take advantage of. He\u2019s 6-for-18 against lefties this season and had a .900 OPS against southpaws in 2025.<\/p>\n

COVERS INTEL:<\/p>\n

Clement owns an .833 OPS in six career at-bats against Detmers.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays vs Angels same-game parlay (SGP)<\/p>\n

The Angels’ lineup has baseball’s seventh-highest strikeout rate. Dylan Cease<\/a> is a strikeout machine, ranking in the 95th percentile in K-rate this season, while averaging eight punchouts per start.<\/p>\n

For the last leg of the SGP, I\u2019ll pair Cease\u2019s strikeout total with Jorge Soler<\/a> to go Over his 1.5 Ks prop. The outfielder has struggled mightily in this matchup throughout his career, going just 1-for-23 against Cease with a 56% K-rate.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll make this a half-unit wager.<\/p>\n

Detmers is a flyball pitcher who relies on his four-seam fastball often, which has a 43% usage rate and a hard-hit rate of 56.5%.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/a> crushes the fastball and has a .500 average against the four-seamer, with a .571 SLG against the pitch.<\/p>\n
