MLB Betting Trends
Toronto
The Blue Jays have lost four straight road games overall and eight straight road games against left-handed starters.
Los Angeles
The Angels have won six of their last seven at home after struggling most of the year at home. They also have won five straight at home against a losing team.
Prediction:
The Angels seem they have finally fixed their struggles at home, getting to the .500 mark in their own ballpark. Heaney takes the mound today and has been very strong for them. I think he can navigate this Toronto lineup while the Angels hitter work their way past Estrada. I like Los Angeles to add another win to their small streak.
The Pick: Los Angeles Angels -150
