The Los Angeles Angels and Toronto Blue Jays are playing a four-game series tonight.
Ryu has only four starts this season, but he has a 6.00 ERA. The Reds entered Thursday with the third-lowest batting average in the MLB. Ryu has failed to throw more than 4.2 innings in three of his starts. Los Angeles Angels have scored the fourth-most runs this year. Their bullpen has the 12th-worst ERA and has surrendered 22 home runs. Blue Jays are capable of turning on the offense.
Angels are 12-4 straight-up in their last 16 home games. The total has gone over in four of the last five games against Toronto. Ryu is a left-hander who has struggled this season. Mike Trout has a .455 batting average, .909 slugging percentage and a 1.500 OPS against southpaws this year.
