The Coach's MLB Early Bird *SPECIAL* - LAA@TOR
(MLB) LA Angels vs. Toronto,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -160.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Win
The Los Angeles Angels are coming into the opener of a four-game set at Rogers Centre on the back of a 3-0 loss at Baltimore Sunday. They had won five straight prior despite struggling at the plate, and I like the Blue Jays to end a five-game skid with a win here as runs are sure to come at a premium for the visitors.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Blue Jays will hand the ball to Aaron Sanchez (3-3, 4.26 ERA) who surrendered a season-high five runs over 5 2/3 innings at Baltimore his last start. The 22 year old has been much sharper home in Toronto though where he's 2-1 with a 2.55 ERA over three starts, and he has conceded just one run on five hits over 14 innings in the daytime in his short career. The Angles will counter with lefty C.J. Wilson who's had a good start to the season but has struggled against the Jays over recent seasons going 1-1 with a 5.25 ERA in four starts since 2013. The Jays have hit southpaw's hard of late and are 8-2 in their last 10 games when facing a left-handed starter. **NOTICE** - Pitching Change Play Stands

2. The Angels Offensive Woes - Only the Miami Marlins have scored less runs than the Angels (19) over the last seven days.

3. X-Factor - Jose Bautista is 9-for-20 with a homer off Wilson in his career and this should be a good spot for the slugger to improve on a .216 batting average on the season.

Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Blue Jays +1.5 (8*)
