Bet Tonight’s Angels vs. Blue Jays Game
LOS ANGELES: Skaggs took the loss to the Mariners after allowing four runs in 3 1/3 innings last Wednesday. He pitched 12 1/3 scoreless innings in his first two starts back in the majors last month but in his three starts in August, he’s given up 15 earned runs in 13 2/3 innings. Skaggs continues to work through his first year back from Tommy John surgery.
TORONTO: Dickey was less-than-impressive in his last outing, walking four batters but holding the Yankees to one run over five innings in a loss last Monday. The 41-year-old has just one quality start in his last six attempts and is now 8-13 on the year with a 4.51 ERA.

OUR PICK: The over is a perfect 4-0 in the last four meetings between these two teams and is 9-4 in Dickey’s last 13 starts versus the American League West. The over is also 4-1 in Dickey’s last five home starts, is 5-0-1 in the Blue Jays’ last six home games following a road trip of seven or more days, and is 4-1 in Skaggs’ last five road starts. Given the starting pitching matchup, the two teams should combine for more than enough runs to push the score over the total.
