Ernie Clement’s bat is sizzling right now, and with the Angels sending a southpaw to the mound, I’m banking on the lefty-masher to stay hot.
Read on to see why in my Blue Jays vs. Angels predictions and free MLB picks on Monday, April 20.
Blue Jays vs Angels predictions
Blue Jays vs Angels best bet: Ernie Clement Over 1.5 total bases (+115)
Ernie Clement is riding a four-game hit streak while recording a hit in eight of his last nine games.
The Toronto Blue Jays infielder has gone Over his total bases prop in five of those, including each of his last three outings.
Clement is starting to find his power stroke, too, doubling in three straight, with six total two-baggers in this nine-game stretch, averaging 2.11 bases per game.
The pitching matchup is in his favor as well.
The Los Angeles Angels are starting LHP Reid Detmers tonight, who Clement should be able to take advantage of. He’s 6-for-18 against lefties this season and had a .900 OPS against southpaws in 2025.
COVERS INTEL: Clement owns an .833 OPS in six career at-bats against Detmers.
Blue Jays vs Angels same-game parlay (SGP)
The Angels' lineup has baseball's seventh-highest strikeout rate. Dylan Cease is a strikeout machine, ranking in the 95th percentile in K-rate this season, while averaging eight punchouts per start.
For the last leg of the SGP, I’ll pair Cease’s strikeout total with Jorge Soler to go Over his 1.5 Ks prop. The outfielder has struggled mightily in this matchup throughout his career, going just 1-for-23 against Cease with a 56% K-rate.
Blue Jays vs Angels SGP
- Ernie Clement Over 1.5 total bases
- Dylan Cease Over 7.5 strikeouts
- Jorge Soler Over 1.5 hitter strikeouts
Blue Jays vs Angels home run pick: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+475)
I’ll make this a half-unit wager.
Detmers is a flyball pitcher who relies on his four-seam fastball often, which has a 43% usage rate and a hard-hit rate of 56.5%.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. crushes the fastball and has a .500 average against the four-seamer, with a .571 SLG against the pitch.
