Free MLB Pick

Jays’ starter R.A. Dickey has been ripped for 13 runs on 17 hits in his last two starts in 11 innings pitched, but he has pitched well in the past against the Angels roster who have combined to hit a feeble .176 versus him. Angels starter Matt Shoemaker has been inconsistent this season but has been good on the road with 3 Q starts in 4 outings and has had success against the Jays lineup (.143) in limited at bats.
