Philadelphia Phillies vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
In my opinion, this matchup clearly favors the Philadelphia Phillies. Why? Philadelphia starting pitcher Cristopher Sanchez has pitched exceptionally well this season, compiling a 7-2 win-loss record, a 1.46 ERA and a whopping 103 strikeouts. Conversely, Toronto hurler Patrick Corbin pitched poorly in his last outing, allowing 6 hits, 4 earned runs and 2 walks in the Blue Jays 7-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves. It should also be mentioned that the Phillies arrive at this contest in good form, winning five of the team’s last six games played. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Philadelphia Phillies on the moneyline in this game.Hans Geevers's Pick: Philadelphia Phillies ML
