Anaheim is a good offensive park and Toronto is 8-3 OVER the total against a team with a losing record. The Angels have Ricky Nolasco (4.94 ERA) going, who has been hit hard this season and faces a Toronto offense that is sixth in runs scored, seventh in on-base percentage, and #10 in slugging. Nolasco has four career starts against Toronto with a 4.91 ERA. Toronto doesn't exactly have an ace, either, with 33-year-old Francisco Liriano (5.16 ERA) walking 80 batters in 144+ innings with 142 hits allowed. He is 2-6 on the road in 2016 with a 5.77 ERA. The Angels have crushed him this year with 10 hits and four walks in three+ innings (16.20 ERA). That makes Liriano 2-5 with a 6.61 ERA in 10 career appearances (nine starts) against the Angels. And the OVER is 20-9-1 in the last 30 meetings between these teams. Play the Blue Jays/Angels OVER the total.
