Toronto is starting Kevin Gausman, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. Los Angeles is starting Lucas Giolito, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Angels are hitting the ball very well right now and I am going to take a chance on them as a road underdog here.
