Bet Tonight’s Angels vs. Blue Jays Game
LOS ANGELES: Shoemaker pitched seven innings of two-run ball in a win over the Mariners last Thursday. He allowed solo home runs to Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz in the first and sixth innings, respectively, but was solid outside of those two blats. He scattered five hits while striking out five and walking two over his seven innings of work. He’s been sharp of late despite owning a 4.14 ERA.
TORONTO: Estrada allowed five runs over just five innings but did manage to escape with a no-decision in the Blue Jays’ 12-6 win over the Yankees on Tuesday. It was Estrada’s shortest outing of the season as he surrendered three home runs and was chased after throwing just 59 pitches.
