Phillies vs. Blue Jays Picks and Predictions

Forecast

Phillies 6, Blue Jays 5

Money line

BET ON PHILLIES (-125).

The slightly better team is Philadelphia, who have won 3 in a row and 5 of their last 7 home games, while the Blue Jays have lost 2 in a row and are 2-4 in their last 6 road games.

The Phillies are also 6-2 in their last 8 games against the Blue Jays and 2-1 in their last 3 meetings in Toronto.

Running Line/Against the Spread

PASS.

I think the Blue Jays have a +1.5 (-165) advantage over the outsiders here, but the line is set too favorably in Toronto’s favor to risk betting, so you’re better off betting the moneyline and/or the total.

Over/under

LEAN OVER 8 (-115).

For Toronto, the Over is 74-63-3 this year, while also being 33-30-2 for the Phillies in road games. The Over has also struck out in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these teams, and has struck out in 3 of the last 4 meetings in Toronto.

This is a small difference as the Over and Under odds have been extremely close in the last 10 matches between these two teams, as has been the case in the last 10 Philly-Toronto matches.
