Los Angeles Angels DFS SPIN
Shohei Ohtani was removed from Friday’s game against the Blue Jays due to cramping in his legs. It’s the second straight game that Ohtani was forced to leave early due to cramping in his legs, but fortunately it’s nothing more serious and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. Before exiting, all he did was blast his 39th home run of the season. He should be considered day-to-day.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Promoted to the leadoff spot, Whit Merrifield went 3-for-4 with a homer as the Blue Jays topped the Angels 4-1 on Friday. Merrifield has homered in back-to-back games. and six of his eight homers on the year have come since July 6. His current .779 OPS is his high mark since May 1.

Angels vs. Blue Jays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Detmers is 1-0 with a 3.48 ERA against the Blue Jays in his career, but that’s in only two career games. It’s a similar story with Manoah, who in three career starts against the Angels is 1-1 with a 2.29 ERA. That said, Detmers is just 2-7 with a 4.38 ERA on the season, while Manoah is 2-8 with a 6.10 ERA in disastrous (thus far) 2023 campaign. I’ve got to trust the season-long numbers over the small sample sizes of each pitcher and thus, I’m taking the over.
