Baseball Showdown: Blue Jays vs Angels
Let's dive into tonight's Blue Jays vs Angels matchup, where the pitching plan from Toronto is as foggy as a Los Angeles smog, but it seems Jose Urena will open, with Eric Lauer following close behind. This news sure makes Jorge Soler's eyes light up! Both Urena and Lauer have tossed some lemons, and Soler's stats speak for themselves.
gonna start tonight for the #BlueJays, according to the team.

As Soler stands out with top-notch metrics, the duo of Urena and Lauer have served up some rough performances. Keep in mind, Urena has maintained an ERA of 3.80 or higher each year since 2022. Also, Lauer has sailed above the 3.19 ERA mark throughout his seven-year career.
When Soler crushes it, his trends are outstanding, with a hit rate of 72%, going over the total bases prop 47% of the time, and hitting a home run 20% of those times. At home, his trends are even better: in 28 games, he's recorded a hit 71% of the time, gone over 53% of the time, and slammed a double 32% of the time.
Current season stats for Soler include a .229 batting average, six home runs, 13 RBIs, and a .731 OPS. Tonight's showdown presents an inviting matchup for Soler, as both pitchers are expected to throw the majority of their pitches below the league average, according to FanGraphs.
At +145, it's tough not to stake a claim on Soler's total bases with his solid stats and excellent trends against these two pitchers.
