Tips and predictions for the Phillies at the Blue Jays

forecast

Phillies 6, Blue Jays 5

Money line

BET ON THE PHILLIES (-125).

Philadelphia is the slightly better team, winning three games in a row, including five of their last seven at home. The Blue Jays, on the other hand, have lost two games in a row and are just 2-4 in their last six away games.

The Phillies also have a 6-2 record in their last 8 meetings against the Blue Jays, with a 2-1 record in their last 3 meetings in Toronto.

Running Line/Against the Spread

HAPPEN.

I think the Blue Jays come in as +1.5 (-165) underdogs here, but that line is a little too favorable for Toronto to risk a bet on, so go for the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

TAKE OVER 8 (-115).

For Toronto, the over is 74-63-3 this year, while for the Phillies it is 33-30-2 in away games. The over has also scored in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these teams, while it has also scored in 3 of the last 4 meetings in Toronto.

This is a very slight trend, as the over and under have been extremely even in the last 10 games between both teams, as well as in the last 10 Philly-Toronto meetings.
