The Toronto Blue Jays are back home after a 6-1 road trip and host Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels for a three-game set at Rogers Centre.

Detmers has done the same for Los Angeles over his past three. F5 innings under 4.5 (-112): We think White and Detmers are both capable pitchers who won’t give up much at the plate early. has been on the road for seven games and covered a 1.5-run line four times. Despite White’s lighter workload, he’s been efficient as a Jay, surrendering just five runs in 13.1 IP. While the Angels have been bad, they’ve contended in a fair share of games. 2 He’s played well but there’s a possibility of giving up some runs, especially with the likes of Ohtani and Trout in the lineup. The Angels have lost nine of their last 10 games but have Mike Trout back in the lineup. He’s a decent player but is very clearly the fifth option and isn’t expected to go deep into games. First inning, under 0.5 runs (+100): In a similar respect, we’re going to roll with the NRFI (no run, first inning) here. The former Dodger has made three starts in a Jays uniform, each of which was under 4.2 IP.

Angels vs Blue Jays MLB Odds, Picks, Predictions: Back Shohei ... (The Action Network)

D.J. James previews Saturday's MLB game between the Angels and Blue Jays, including betting odds and a prediction.

The Blue Jays just do not look like themselves now, and there is a reason to fade them. The only concern to backing them would be the bullpen, but it is worth the risk. Taylor Ward, David Fletcher, Mike Trout and Ohtani are the Angels above a .325 xwOBA off of righties in August. He does hold teams to a 30.9% hard hit rate, ranking in the 91st percentile. Luckily for the Angels, Ohtani can go five-plus innings in a start. Matt Duffy, Jared Walsh, Anthony Rendon and Mickey Moniak are on the IL. This does not bode well against Ohtani, since he is as consistent on the mound as they come. Jimmy Herget is the only reliever under the 4.00 mark, so Ohtani going deeper into this game will assist Angels-backers immensely. The Los Angeles Angels are at a crossroads with their owner exploring selling the team. The Blue Jays have seemingly only had a few bats on fire against righties lately. No one has been able to replicate this prototype of both sides of the ball since the likes of Babe Ruth. The usual suspects are still performing this season with miniscule production from the bottom of the lineup.

He held the Reds to just 5 hits and a bean ball, as Nola struck out 11 batters on the night. For his part, Bautista is the WPA King, with a .608 mark. In the 8 games he has appeared in since August 15, he has collected a hit in each one, and has put up a line of .571/.625/.750 while driving in the game winning RBI in the 10th inning in each of the last two nights. Paul Goldschmidt went 3-4 with a pair of home runs, driving in 5 runs and walking away with the Monster Bat award. But his 3.29 BB/9 eclipses the league average rate of 3.11, and his 1.19 HR/9 rate is also higher than the league average rate of 1.08. Ohtani wasn’t anywhere near the superstar he is now at that time, and he is definitely a big draw and interest for many fans throughout the league. Ohtani, who is scheduled to pitch tomorrow, has had a great second half with the bat. The Jays will have the rare game against a left handed starter today. The 16 hits allowed in 13.1 innings is a bit of a concern, but he has done well limiting the damage. In his time with the Jays, he has 10 strikeouts to 4 walks, and has yet to allow a home run. His FIP is a little over half a run higher at 4.21, as he is coming in a little bit higher than league average on all three components of FIP. [Dodgers](https://www.truebluela.com/), in his 13.1 innings in Toronto he has dropped those numbers to a 3.38 ERA and an incredible 2.52 FIP.

The Jags would be a friskier wild-card contender in the NFC, but it would not shock to see them make inroads this year en route to a place as an AFC threat by 2023. Pederson will call plays for the Jags, but in addition to Cooter — a former Lions OC — longtime lieutenant Press Taylor, 34, is back with Pederson in Florida. That is a nice leap for the third-rounder, but as the only O-lineman the Jags selected, Fortner was unlikely to be given a long learning curve. But he is coming off his best season — a year in which he allowed just one sack and graded as an above-average pass protector — and has been available since the early-season ACL tear cost him most of the 2018 slate. The Packers should trade Jordan Love for a second-round pick In his article, Alex Kay suggests that the Green Bay Packers trade Jordan Love to the Indianapolis Colts for a second-round draft pick. The former second-round pick was part of a Jags defensive core that had a moment in the late 2010s, leading the NFL in DVOA in 2017. That would have been the safer bet, and it turned out to be a bargain for the Browns. PT While the Angels may not have to deal with two of the Blue Jays frontline pitchers, they won’t have it easy with Ross Stripling, who was once nearly involved in a trade to the Angels. Detmers is coming off of one of his worst starts of the season, but was dominating in the six starts prior. requested a trade out of Brooklyn in late June, but he and the Nets ultimately agreed to "move forward with our partnership" for the time being. Love finished with 190 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 13-7 loss to the Chiefs.

3 Takeaways From Blue Jays' 12-0 Loss to Angels (Sports Illustrated)

Breaking down the biggest takeaways from Toronto's Friday loss to Los Angeles, including early misplays and Teoscar Hernández's injury.

He was removed after the half-inning and Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the team will see how Hernández feels tomorrow. The Blue Jays began a stretch of 12-straight games against sub-.500 opponents earlier this week in Boston. The good news is Toronto still has eight games in a row remaining against these sub-.500 teams, and an opportunity to build a safety net in the American League playoff race. What followed was a homestand’s worth of gaffs packed into two innings—misthrows, bad decisions, misreads in the outfield, and an ill-advised challenge, too. Here are three takeaways from the game: You know, we've been rolling pretty good, so you just move on to the next one."

The Blue Jays gave the bulk of their bullpen a much-needed breather on Friday night, but that group could still be feeling the effects of consecutive extra-inning matchups in Boston. On a short turnaround to Saturday’s afternoon start, we like the value provided by the underdog Angels. Thankfully, the Baseball Gods have aligned them for this afternoon, and we expect a strong effort on both sides. Over their past seven respective starts, Manoah and Ohtani have both been in fine form. Similarly, under 7.5 runs have been scored in four of Ohtani’s past five starts. He’s also helped the under succeed in four of his past six starts overall.
