[Betfair]

At the time of this writing, the following Match Odds/Moneyline were available: Los Angeles Angels (2.32, +132) and Toronto Blue Jays (1.74, -135)

Blue Jays are 7-1 as a favorite, while the Angels are 2-8 in Pineiro’s last 10 starts as an underdog.

Los Angeles dropped a 3-2 contest in the series opener against Toronto Monday night and losing five of its last eight games has almost ended any playoff hopes. “All is not lost,” commented Angels outfielder Torii Hunter. “We just need to be within three come Monday.” The Angels are 18-22 versus AL East opponents this season, including a 4-3 mark against the Toronto Blue Jays. It’s also important to point out that the club is 7-5 in its last 12 games at tonight’s venue. Los Angeles is 30-25 when facing left-handed starters this year.

Angels starting pitcher Joel Pineiro is 6-7 with a 5.33 ERA in 25 games (22 starts) this season and will be looking to bounce back from a poor performance. He was handed a 6-3 road loss to the Athletics, giving up five runs and five hits over just three innings. The right-hander will be making his 14th appearance (12th start) on the road, registering a 2-4 mark and 6.20 ERA, as opponents are hitting .316 against him. In 17 lifetime outings (nine starts) versus the Blue Jays, Pineiro is 2-4 with a 4.67 ERA.
