LA Angels vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

I considered the LA Angels at home in a pick em spot because Tyler Anderson has been great this season and will give the Angels a chance. However, the Toronto Blue Jays are the better team overall, and they’ve been the better team in this series. Jose Berrios has had his struggles on the road this season, but he is also an all star caliber pitcher when he’s feeling good. As I said yesterday, neither the Blue Jays nor Angels have anything to play for, but I’ll side with the better team in a pick em spot. Give me the Blue Jays.
