Los Angeles at Toronto

This is the first game of the double-header, and it finds a pair of strong offensive teams squaring off. Toronto is third in the league in runs scored, seventh in on-base percentage, and tops in slugging. Lefty Steven Matz (4.30 ERA) has been hittable all season with batters hitting .274 off him. Los Angeles is #12 in runs scored and eighth in slugging. The Angels are 13-6-1 OVER the total following an off day and 37-20 OVER against lefty starters. Los Angeles 23-year old rookie Chris Rodriguez makes his second start in the Majors with a lot to learn as he is walking too many batters (13 in 27 innings). The Angels are on a 7-3 run OVER the total in their home park, and the opener looks like an offensive show. Play Game 1 to go OVER the total.
