Toronto Blue Jays Dominating AL East with Impressive Winning Streak.

Recently, the Toronto Blue Jays have been performing exceptionally well, catapulting themselves to the top spot in the AL East due to their impressive winning streak. The team's offense has been consistent, and their pitching staff has shown significant improvement. In a recent start, Anderson secured a victory, bringing his total wins for the season to two. However, historically, he has struggled against the Blue Jays and has given up a considerable number of home runs this season. On the other hand, Gausman exhibited a strong performance in his last outing against the Yankees and is expected to maintain his form against the inconsistent Angels lineup. Consequently, the Blue Jays are favored to come out on top in this matchup.
