00:00
Head north in the sixth year for the Angels taking on the Toronto Blue Jays.
00:04
By the way, Tom, 86 degrees of wind blowing out today.
00:06
That dome better be open to let in the heat and humidity.
00:09
957, 958 on the rotation, a 137 start.
00:12
Anderson, the lefty, will be on the mound for the Angels.
00:15
Going up against Kevin Gaussman, the veteran right-handed pitcher.
00:18
An opening line overnight around a minus 175 price.
00:20
That's now going up, Tom.
00:21
We're seeing as high as minus 200s out there at certain books.
00:25
A total of nine and a half overnight, still sits at nine and a half.
00:27
Runs are expected, but there is a slippery fish on the Angels, and his name's Tyler Anderson.
00:33
Can you catch him today?
00:34
Can you do it?
00:36
Tyler Anderson is a pitcher that you and I both don't – we're not fans of, to put it easily.
00:43
When you look at some of his numbers this year, he's a lefty pitcher, just so everyone is clear,
00:48
versus lefty hitters this year.
00:50
He's allowing an ISO over 300.
00:52
He's allowing a 418 Woba.
00:54
He has a 530 XFIP and 2.49 home runs per nine allowed versus lefties.
00:59
He's a lefty.
01:00
He's terrible versus lefties.
01:01
He's not as bad versus righties.
01:03
But when I'm looking at a pitcher like Tyler Anderson, and on the season – and this is just not the season,
01:07
I should say on his entire career – he's a sub-20% strike area.
01:10
He has a walk rate that's nearly 10%.
01:11
So we have three batters on the bases.
01:14
He's not punching man on the mound.
01:15
He's struggling with power.
01:16
He's giving up home runs.
01:18
And yet sometimes those runs don't necessarily come through for the opposing team.
01:22
However, the Blue Jays have been scorching hot as of late.
01:25
So I will certainly look to them.
01:26
When we're looking at the Blue Jays, over the last 30 days versus lefties,
01:30
obviously some of their numbers have been specifically better over the past week and a half.
01:33
But you give me any combination of Bobachette, George Springer, who's on Fiverr,
01:37
Vladdy Guerrero, Addison Barger, I will take these guys time and time again against a pitcher like Tyler Anderson.
01:44
On the other side, Kevin Gossman, he's been super solid as of late.
01:46
The strikers have been there.
01:47
The Angels, one of the worst strikeout rates versus righties.
01:50
I like Gossman to go six innings.
01:52
I like the Blue Jays to come away with the win.
