Blue Jays vs. Angels Prediction, Picks & Player Props Today, Aug. 12
The Los Angeles Angels host the Toronto Blue Jays for the start of a three-game series, and we have you covered with our best Blue Jays vs. Angels player props based on the best sports betting sites.
The Blue Jays and Angels are two of four American League teams starting the day 11 or more games out of a wild card spot, so they are not likely playing for much more than pride.
I am looking to continue the momentum from a player prop perspective from last week, as I went 6-2 for a profit of +6.6 units while covering the entire series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Betway has the Angels as -115 moneyline home favorites for this series opener, with first pitch from Angel Stadium scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET on Monday night.

Blue Jays vs. Angels expert picks
MLB picks made Monday at 6:23 a.m. ET.
Prediction: Davis Daniel Under 1.5 walks allowed ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Daniel is making his sixth start of the season and is coming off his first start in which he allowed multiple walks. However, he can be forgiven that one of his two walks allowed was surrendered to Aaron Judge, the hottest hitter on the planet.
Toronto does rank in the top 10 in the league in walk rate (8.6%), but I expect Daniel to go after Toronto’s slumping lineup, especially at Angel Stadium, where he has allowed one walk in 16 2/3 innings compared to three walks in 8 2/3 innings on the road.
Daniel has even more steep -175 odds to go Under 4.5 strikeouts, but considering he has recorded five or more strikeouts in two of his five starts, I am more enticed by Betway’s -167 odds for his walk prop, where a winning $10 wager would pay out $15.99.
Best odds: -167 via Betway | Implied probability: 62.55%

Prediction: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 total bases ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Guerrero Jr. went 0-for-4 in yesterday’s series finale against the Oakland Athletics, ending his hit streak at 22 games. That tied the longest hitting streak of his career, and he should be forgiven for his hitless day, as it is possible the importance of setting a new career-high hitting streak weighed heavily on him.
He'll be able to swing more freely today, I project him to exceed his total bases prop, as Daniel has allowed a .354 batting average and .943 OPS to right-handed batters this season. Guerrero cashed the Over on his total bases prop in 16 of the 22 games during his hit streak, suggesting that the 52.83% implied probability to do so again today is much too low.
I am backing this four-star play with a $10 wager that would pay out $8.93 in profit if it cashes.
Best odds: -112 via Betway | Implied probability: 52.83%
Prediction: Taylor Ward Over 0.5 RBIs ⭐⭐⭐
Ward may be batting just .235 on the season, but he often finds himself in run-producing situations, as his 55 RBIs are the second-most on the team.
Ward enters this contest with a seven-game hitting streak and three consecutive multi-hit games, so he is more than due to snap his six-game drought without an RBI.
There is value at Betway’s +175 price for this prop, as he has the fifth-shortest odds of any Angels hitter to drive in a run. A winning $10 wager would return $27.50.
Best odds: +175 via Betway | Implied probability: 36.36%
