Blue Jays vs Angels

Bats take flight while halos flicker under West-Coast lights

Toronto Blue Jays

Blue Jays (16-18) VS Angels (13-20)

05/06/2025 | 9:38 PM ET | Angel Stadium, Anaheim

Los Angeles Angels
Moneyline Pick ‑ Toronto Blue Jays (-110): B

Toronto heads west riding a two-game lost streak and finds itself in a favorable spot against an Angels squad reeling from a 2-8 run and navigating a thinned rotation. The visitors have success against tonight’s starter and send out a top arm whose key pitch neutralizes the home team’s biggest threat—especially with injury concerns softening the Angels’ already depleted lineup. Both bullpens carry question marks, but the Blue Jays still hold the edge against an Anaheim relief group near the bottom of the league in run prevention.

With even money on the board and the matchup edges tilting toward the road team, Toronto is a solid B-grade play—strong enough to trust, though not without some bullpen risk attached.

Over/Under Pick - Under 9, (-110): B

Toronto sends a usually fine starter into Anaheim to face a struggling lineup still without its centrepiece, while the Angels counter with a lefty who’s handled the heart of the Blue Jays' order well historically. Both teams come in rested and unlikely to push bullpen arms too hard with summer looming ever closer. Offensively, neither side has consistently produced—especially in their respective road and home splits—and tonight’s matchup leans more toward control and containment than breakout scoring.

With limited firepower on both ends and measured bullpen usage expected, the posted total of nine feels optimistic. Backing the under earns a solid B-grade, offering reasonable value in a game shaped more by arms than fireworks.

Spread Pick - Los Angeles Angels, +1.5 (-178): B

Los Angeles enters with little momentum but gets a boost from a healthier lineup and a well-aligned pitching matchup. Toronto, dealing with injuries in key spots, continues to search for rhythm on both sides of the ball. The Angels send out a lefty who has consistently neutralized Toronto’s power bats, and a fresh bullpen full of same-side matchups gives them the edge late. Meanwhile, Toronto’s starter has struggled this season, and the visitors’ missing closer only increases volatility in the final frames.

Grabbing +1.5 on the home side might come at a steeper price, but the combination of recent trends, favorable splits, and improved health supports the cushion. It’s a solid B-grade play—reliable protection in a toss-up game where every edge matters.
