Los Angeles @ Toronto picks

Addison Barger has been a big reason for the Toronto Blue Jays current six-game winning streak. In this stretch, the Jays' lefty slugger is hitting .333 with three homers and a 1.221 OPS. His underlying metrics reflect this level of success as well. Barger crushes the baseball, ranking in the 94th percentile in hard-hit rate with an xSLG% of .552, while ranking in the 93rd percentile in xBA. This means he has a great approach at the plate, making hard contact with the ball consistently. This could pose a problem for right-handed Los Angeles Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz, who struggles against left-handed hitters and gives up a lot of hard contact, allowing an OPS of .900 against lefties this year.
