Toronto Blue Jays vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction 

It might not be a popular pick but the Blue Jays are the play here. The Blue Jays offense has been inconsistent, but their offense isn’t going to need to score a whole lot here to get the job done. Bassitt in his last start gave up only one run and he’s going to dominate here. The lack of scoring by the Phillies is going to be enough for the Blue Jays to get the job done. Back Toronto on the money line.
