#976 ASA TOP PLAY ON LA Angels -125 over Toronto, Sunday at 4:05 PM ET - Toronto has won the first 3 games of this series in LA and we like the Angels to stop the potential sweep today. LA has been the better team all season long. Even with the 3 straight losses, the Angels are 27-21 with a run differential of +43 which is the 2nd best in the American League behind the Yankees. The Jays are 26-20, but they do have a losing record on the road and they have actually been outscored this season by 2 runs. They are the ONLY team in MLB that has a winning record with a negative run differential so they’ve been quite fortunate. Toronto will be facing left hander Sandoval today for the Angels who has been very solid all season long. He has an ERA of 1.79 and he has allowed 1 ER or less in 5 of his 7 starts. At home Sandoval is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA and a WHIP of just 1.00. The Blue Jays have struggled vs lefties this season averaging just 3.4 RPG and on the road vs southpaws they have put up only 2.5 RPG on the season. LA has actually outhit Toronto in the first 3 games of this series despite losing all 3 and we look for their bats to put up big numbers today. They’ll be facing Toronto starter Berrios who has an ERA of 4.75 but on the road he’s really had problems with an ERA of almost 6.00 and a WHIP of 1.48. He’s coming off a solid start at home vs Seattle, however in his 2 starts prior to that he allowed 11 ER’s in just 10 innings, both on the road. He’s also struggled vs the hitters on LA as they have a lifetime batting average over .300 vs Berrios. The Angels rank in the top 9 in MLB in RPG (6th), batting average (9th), OPS (2nd) and HR’s per 9 innings (2nd). Ohtani was also back in the LA line up yesterday after missing Friday with a sore back. The Jays rank 25th in RPG and 18th in both batting average and OPS. The Angels also have an edge across the board in all key bullpen stats. This one sets up very nicely for the motivated home team looking to avoid a sweep.
