These two teams split their four games played at Angel Stadium last season, Toronto taking the first two by a combined score of 12-2 while Los Angeles won the last two by a combined score of 10-1. The Angels have never held the Blue Jays to one or fewer runs in 3+ consecutive home games.

At 3-12, the Blue Jays have their worst record through their first 15 games in franchise history. Their previous worst mark through 15 games was 4-11 in the 2004 season.

The Angels return home after a 1-6 road trip. They scored a total of just 10 runs in those seven games, including plating a single run in each of their last two contests to end the trip.

Yunel Escobar is batting .440 (11/25) at home this season, compared to just .209 on the road. That .231 difference is fifth biggest in the AL (home BA higher) (minimum 3.1 PA/team G).

Mat Latos is scheduled to make his debut with the Blue Jays on Friday. Toronto will be the eighth MLB club that he has pitched for; he is 1-0 with a 1.89 (4/19.0) ERA and .194 (13/67) opponent average in three career starts versus the Angels.

Alex Meyer is scheduled to make his first appearance of 2017 on Friday. Last season, Meyer (6.0 BB/9, 10.3 K/9) became the first AL pitcher since Cleveland's John Axford (6.2 & 10.5) in 2014 to average 6+ BB/9 IP and 10+ K/9 IP in a season (minimum 25 IP).

HP - De Jesus, 1B - Marquez, 2B - Fairchild, 3B - Rackley

ANAHEIM -- Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman was a 23-year-old rookie in his third professional season when he first faced the Los Angeles Angels in 2014. They did not welcome him warmly to the major leagues.
In two appearances, he was tagged for 14 hits and 10 runs in 5 1/3 innings, with the Angels winning both games. That was then. Stroman starts Sunday afternoon's game at Angel Stadium seven months after a stellar outing in 2016, allowing two runs and seven hits in six innings in a game where he received no run support.

Jays' Stroman hopes to right ship versus Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)  Although Marcus Stroman had no idea why he was called for an illegal quick-pitch, he refused to allow the unusual umpiring decision to stop him from carrying the Toronto Blue Jays to another win in their climb out of a huge early-season hole.
He pitched a seven-hitter and Devon Travis hit a go-ahead, two-run homer during a four-run eighth inning in the Blue Jays' 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.
