The Phillies are entering this series off a win and won their 3-game series against the Chicago Cubs 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 39-29 record overall and have a home record of 21-13. This is the 1st game of a 3-game series with the Blue Jays on Friday and they have Thursday off as a day of rest.

The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Blue Jays have looked good in their games this season with their 38-30 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL East. They haven't been a good road team though with their 16-17 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Phillies have looked good in their games this season with their 39-29 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL East. They have looked good in their own ballpark too with their 21-13 home record this year. The Phillies are coming off a series win over the Cubs in their last series and they looked a lot better in that series, but they have still been terrible lately. The Phillies are only 3-7 in their last 10 games and have been in a big slump while the Blue Jays are 8-2 in their last 10 games and have been red hot. Gausman is on the mound for the Blue Jays in this one and he has looked good lately. He is 5-4 with a 3.87 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He did give up 3 earned runs in his last start, but he will be looking to bounce back with a better performance and the team has still won 4 games in a row with him starting too. The Phillies are going with Suarez in this one and he has looked great in his starts lately too. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and he is 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA this season, but the Phillies have lost 2 games in a row with him starting and their offense hasn't been backing him up in those either. Both of these teams have solid starters on the mound here, but the Blue Jays are the hotter team with the better offense right now so that gives them the advantage here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.

“I’ve screwed up plenty of them so I feel like I have a better feel as to when to push a guy or when to go get a guy. It’s made our discussions and our pregame process better, I can tell you that, through failures and successes. It’s awkward at first, because it’s not the traditional [starter] throwing 80 or 100 pitches, but I’m kind of learning to enjoy it.” - John Schneider after his team’s win against the Cardinals in their game on Wednesday.

“He really executed today. Pounded the strike zone, changeup [and] slider were both really good, lots of weak contact, a lot of swing-and-miss. He was fantastic.” - Rob Thomson after his team’s win against the Cubs in their game on Wednesday.
