MLB:Toronto Blue Jays vs. Los Angeles Angels -by Jack Jones

Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Blue Jays/Angels OVER 9

The Blue Jays are scoring a whopping 7.0 RPG in their last 10 games overall, while allowing 4.8 RPG in the process. The Angels are scoring 6.1 RPG in their last 9 games while also giving up 6.2 RPG in their last 6 contests. So these are two hot teams at the plate right now and each should find solid success at the dish tonight against their opposing starters. Brett Cecil has been rocked of late, going 1-1 with an 8.57 ERA and 2.050 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Joe Saunders just cannot seem to find his groove at home, going 1-4 with a 5.53 ERA and 1.518 WHIP in 5 home starts.

The Blue Jays are 21-5-1 to the OVER in their last 27 Game 1′s. Toronto has gone 3-0-1 to the OVER in their previous four games while the Angels have gone 4-0 to the OVER in their last 4 games. The Angels are 11-5 to the OVER in Saunders’ last 16 home starts and 12-4 to the OVER in Saunders’ last 16 starts working on only 4 days’ rest. Finally, 8 of the last 9 meetings in this head-to-head series have seen at least 9 combined runs scored. Take the OVER Monday.
