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).

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The finale of the four-game series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels on Monday night looms large for the teams that have struggled at the start of the season.
The Angels have lost 10 of their last 12 and have a bullpen running on empty. The relief corps allowed the bulk of the runs Friday in an 8-7, 13-inning loss, was touched for three late runs in a 5-4 win Saturday, then gave up six runs in the last two Toronto at-bats in a 6-2 loss Sunday.

Blue Jays aim to top Angels for first series win

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)  Cameron Maybin stood at third base in the tie game, eyed the infield playing in and then immediately broke on contact.
He dove head-first into home, slid his out-stretched left hand around catcher Russell Martin's tag and scored what proved the final run Monday night in the Los Angeles Angels' 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
