The LA Angels will travel north to square off against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Center. The Angels and the Blue Jays seem to be fighting for a lost cause, as both teams have a poor chance of making the playoffs this season.
The Halos will need to step up and start from scratch by rebuilding their team next season. With Mike Trout out and several players struggling to make ends meet, the team is stuck at the bottom of the AL East.
While the Blue Jays hold a slightly better record, there is no major difference in the team's performance. The Blue Jays are at the bottom of the AL West and qualifying for the playoffs seems way out of reach in their division.
Toronto lost their last game against the Cincinnati Reds with an 11-7 final score. The Blue Jays are predicted to turn in Chris Bassitt as their starter in Game 1. Bassitt has a 4.34 record in 25 appearances.
Ron Washington will turn toward Griffin Canning to start Game 1. Canning has a terrible 5.48 ERA with a 4-11 record. Canning's 2024 stint has been a struggle and the offense has not been a great help. The Halos hope to rebound after their last 3-0 defeat against the Kansas City Royals.
