Phillies vs. Blue Jays Betting Prediction
The Phillies have the second-best straight-up record in the National League this season at 81-56. Philadelphia has been one of the best teams in all of baseball this season, and several numbers back that up. The Phillies are 76-53 straight up when playing an opponent on equal rest this year. That’s the second-best mark in baseball. Philadelphia is also 58-41 straight up in non-division games and 12-11 straight up as a road underdog this year. Both of those numbers rank in the top five in the MLB this season. The Phillies have won 7 out of their last 9 games, and I like them to remain hot here. I’m taking Philadephia on the road as slight money-line underdogs in Toronto on Tuesday night.
