The Toronto Blue Jays are surging ahead of their weekend series with the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Toronto leads the AL East after a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees. The team’s top performer during the series, George Springer, is on an absolute tear and is in a nice spot to continue his dominant ways at the plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out my Angels vs. Blue Jays picks for July 4, featuring Springer and Eric Lauer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best Bet: Springer over 1.5 total bases (+105)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Springer is on one right now, and I’m looking to jump on anyway I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those unaware of just how well he is hitting the ball these days, check out his numbers across his last 10 games:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Springer is averaging 3.3 total bases per game over this stretch, thanks to his 18 hits and five home runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He’s facing Angels starter Kyle Hendricks, and he certainly isn’t pitching well enough to shake me off Springer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hendricks enters tonight’s game with an underwhelming 4.66 ERA and 4.88 FIP. He also has a first-percentile fastball velo (86.3), per Baseball Savant, that should present some very hittable pitches to Springer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Blue Jays slugger’s combination of above-average bat speed (68th percentile) and elite power (96th percentile xSLG) should help him deliver on this plus-money prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key stat:<\/strong> Springer has two-plus hits in seven of his last 11 outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blue Jays picks made at 10:19 a.m. ET on 07\/04\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Toronto Blue Jays are surging ahead of their weekend series with the Los Angeles Angels.
