Blue Jays vs Angels

North meets West in a late-night duel of battered rosters.

Toronto Blue Jays

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

May 07, 2025 | 9:38 PM ET | Angel Stadium, Anaheim

Los Angeles Angels
Moneyline Pick - Toronto Blue Jays (-120): A-

Toronto enters this matchup aiming to rebound from a three-game slide, but the odds swing in its favor with a pitching edge and stronger health profile. The Angels, fresh off snapping a losing streak of their own, still face depth concerns with multiple key injuries and a taxed bullpen following consecutive extra-inning games. Toronto, on the other hand, is relatively healthy and brings a lineup that’s thrived against left-handed pitching into a favorable matchup against a starter who has struggled in this exact spot before.

While playoff urgency isn’t yet pressing, Toronto carries higher expectations and has the tools to capitalize on this matchup. With an advantage in the rotation, a better rested relief corps, and clear platoon splits leaning their way, the modest –120 price feels justified.

Over/Under Pick - Under 8.5 runs, (-115): B

Toronto enters on a three-game skid with its offense stuck in a slump, while the Angels have dropped five of six and are also struggling to generate consistent production. With both teams lacking firepower due to injuries and overall cold streaks at the plate, this matchup sets up as a potential pitchers’ duel. Each starter has a strong track record in this spot, and the lack of midseason urgency gives managers more reason to let them work deeper into the game.

Given the trends and the arms on the mound, a low-scoring contest feels more likely than fireworks. With both lineups weakened and starting pitchers in form, backing the under is a sensible play.

Spread Pick - Toronto Blue Jays, -1.5 (-135): B

Toronto looks to snap a three-game skid as it heads into Anaheim against an Angels team also struggling, now riding a 2-8 run and dealing with multiple injury concerns. The Blue Jays bring a healthier, more stable roster into the matchup and have a rotation and bullpen advantage, with their relievers performing among the league’s best over the past two weeks. The Angels’ bullpen, by contrast, ranks near the bottom and is unlikely to hold up in late innings if the game stays close.

Despite the cost, the run line at –135 holds value thanks to Toronto’s better overall form, a solid track record in this ballpark, and a consistent offense that’s delivered over five runs per game on the road trip. The edge is clear enough to warrant the lay.
