MLB 3-Pack
(MLB) LA Angels vs. Toronto, 07/29/2017 9:07 AM, Score: 6 - 5
Point Spread: 1.50 | -165.00 LA Angels (Away)
Result: Win
Play: LAA Angels +1.5
Rating: 8/10*

The Los Angeles Angels opened this series with a 7-2 victory Friday night, and I think the Halos can bark as an underdog here in Game 2.

Yusmeiro Petit (2-0, 2.70 ERA) will take the ball for LAA. He's been excellent working out of the bullpen this season (36 appearances) and I think he'll make the most out of this start.

The Blue Jays turn to Francisco Liriano (6-5, 5.99 ERA) who has posted a 9.35 ERA in his last three start. He is 2-7 with a 5.95 ERA in 12 career games (11 starts) against the Angels.

The Angels are 12-4 in the last 16 meetings at Toronto, and I think their success continues Saturday afternoon, or at the very least will keep this a one-run game.

The Halos are not a high-scoring team though and will have to rely on good pitching from Petit to stay in the game. I think he will come through with a big performance, and I'm also backing the under, making the +1.5 runs extra valuable.
