Philadelphia Phillies vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the over here. The Blue Jays have been smoking lefties as of late, and while Cristopher Sanchez is still one of the better lefties in the National League, the Jays found something in that series against the Athletics. On the other side, Bowden Francis has been a home run magnet and this Phillies lineup still has some potent names in it. I think we get some more runs here, so give me the over.
