Phillies vs Blue Jays Prediction

The current betting odds have the Phillies listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Phillies have looked really good in their games this season with their 36-23 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL East. They have also been a good road team this year with their 17-11 road record. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have looked good in their games this season with their 31-28 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL East. They have also looked a lot better in their own ballpark with their 20-12 home record this season. The Blue Jays have been getting hot lately while the Phillies haven't been, but the Blue Jays also won 4 games in a row against the A's in their last series. The Phillies are coming off a series loss to the Brewers over the weekend and they got swept in that series which dropped them down to 2nd place in the NL East when they were leading the division for most of the year so they are going to be looking to bounce back in this one, and they have the better pitching matchup to do so. They have their ace on the mound here and Wheeler is 6-2 with a 2.96 ERA this season. He did give up 6 earned runs in his last start, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year so he will be looking to bounce back with a better start and the Phillies have still won 5 of the last 6 games that he started in. Francis is on the mound for the Blue Jays and he is 2-6 with a 5.04 ERA this season. He is coming off a great start in which he gave up no runs, but that hasn't been the case for most of the season and the team has still lost 2 of the last 3 games he started in. This is a great situation for the Phillies to bounce back in after getting swept at home over the weekend. The best way to place a bet here is on the Phillies to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“Disappointing loss. Get swept at home, which doesn’t happen very often.” - Rob Thomson after his team’s loss against the Brewers in their game on Sunday.


“This is pretty damn good. A four-game sweep is pretty hard to do, no matter what. We swung the bats extremely well. It started slow today, but just an awesome effort up and down there in the eighth inning. Barger just had a huge series. I can’t say enough about how he’s swinging it.” - John Schneider after his team’s win against the Athletics in their game on Sunday.
