      THE PLAY: Total Over 8.0 (-120) C Bassitt (RHP), J Soriano (RHP) Must Start

      The late start doesn't do any favors for Soriano. He's 2-1 with a 1.83 ERA and 0.92 WHIP during the day but 0-3 with a 5.75 ERA and 1.92 WHIP at night. Opposing hitters are batting .182 against him during the day but .341 under the lights. Bassitt's ERA is also more than a run higher at night, compared to during the day. The Toronto bullpen has been mediocre and the Angels bullpen has been terrible. Don't be surprised to see the bats come to life and this game to reach double-digits. 

      Ben Burns is the #1 Handicapper in 2025
