The Toronto Blue Jays are heading to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, to try and salvage their road trip against the 11-13 Los Angeles Angels. The Blue Jays sit at 9-13, and let's be real, they're probably looking to get out of town before their recent performance gets etched into the record books permanently. The pitching matchup features Eric Lauer (LHP, #56) for the Blue Jays and Jose Soriano (RHP, #59) for the Angels. Lauer has been... well, let's just say he's had better seasons, with a 1-3 record and a 7.13 ERA. Soriano, on the other hand, looks like a superhero with a 5-0 record and a stingy 0.28 ERA.
The Blue Jays are dealing with some injuries, including outfielder George Springer and third baseman Addison Barger, both on the 10-Day IL. Their absence will certainly be felt against a team like the Angels, who are actually hitting a decent .223 as a team. Compare that to the Blue Jays' .253, and you can see why this one might get interesting. With Lauer's shaky form and the Blue Jays' makeshift lineup, this one's far from a guaranteed win.
