In that timeframe, he is hitting .371 with 74 hits in 197 at-bats. A whopping 47 of those have gone for extra bases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the calendar turned to August, Vladdy has cleared this total in 12-of-20 games played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Guerrero is hitting .326 with a .616 SLG against LHP this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anderson under 17.5 outs (+123):<\/strong> Firstly, the Blue Jays have looked like a different team on offence since August 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:92582\">Embed: #92582<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their bats are red hot with an MLB-leading 24 home runs since August 11. In that span, they also top the majors in extra-base hits (54). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That brings me to Angels&#8217; starter Anderson (10-11, 3.40 ERA). As eluded to earlier, the lefty was shaken up in a matchup against Toronto on Aug. 14 where he gave up seven earned runs and fell just shy of this mark, pitching 5.2 innings (17 outs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He followed that up with a start against the Kansas City Royals and got smoked again. The result was five earned runs on 12 hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anderson&#8217;s given up three or more runs in five of his last seven outings and isn&#8217;t producing the kind of numbers you see from a starter going deep into games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other good news is the Angels needed only two relievers in yesterday&#8217;s loss and have a fresh bullpen. So they won&#8217;t need to take any chances if things go south for their starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 10:34 a.m. on 08\/25\/24<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Blue Jays go for the sweep of the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.
