MLB Premium Play 08/02: Toronto Blue Jays @ Los Angeles Angels

MLB - 969 Toronto Blue Jays @ 970 Los Angeles Angels

(Starting Pitchers: T. Redmond vs T. Hanson)

Toronto will start Todd Redmond tonight, who is coming from one run allowed over six innings Sunday against Houston. His P/IP ratio has been quite high on his starts, but the truth is that his command has been quite good in fact, with 10/2, 6/1 and 6/1 K/BB! Redmond has been pitching well against RH batters (4.18 FIP and 2.70 xFIP) and this is good news for him, as he will be facing an Angels' lineup that will be full of RH batters as usual. Therefore, I believe Redmond will be able to do a good job tonight.

Tommy Hanson is coming from allowing five earned runs in 4.2 innings against Oakland last Sunday. This was a really poor performance by Hanson and he was actually coming from a decent outing against Minnesota prior to that. Hanson is a flyball pitcher who struggles against RH batters, so he has in the Blue Jays an absolutely terrible matchup. With Redmond having another decent outing tonight and with Hanson being prone to get pounded by the power lineup of Toronto, I see great value on taking the Blue Jays as underdogs tonight.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 969 Toronto Blue Jays ML (w/ T. Redmond) @ +114 / 2.14 on Betonline
