Angels vs Blue Jays MLB Betting Preview

Editor's Note: This written article is a transcription from the latest episode of the Payoff Pitch podcast.

This will be another Under 7.5 bet between pitchers I like: Dylan Cease and Reid Detmers.

Both of these guys are top-20 starters. Both have made gains this season. Detmers is coming back out of the Angels' bullpen, but he has looked great.

I also like the Blue Jays' bullpen, and I even think it's a little bit underrated.

I make this total about 6.8 runs, and I would bet Under 7.5 to -122.

Pick: Under 7.5 (-115, FanDuel)
