Philadelphia Phillies at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Philadelphia Phillies at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Philadelphia Phillies (46-42) and Toronto Blue Jays (46-42) meet Wednesday at 7:07 p.m. ET to play the back half of a 2-game interleague set at Rogers Center. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Phillies vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Toronto leads 1-0.

Philadelphia hurlers had compiled a tidy 1.80 ERA in 4 games prior to falling 6-1 at the St. Louis Cardinals Monday. The Phillies lost Tuesday’s opener 4-3 as the Blue Jays collected 14 hits in the game.

Toronto perhaps benefited from an off day Monday. The Blue Jays were reeling, having lost 4 games in a row and 9 of their previous 10 contests. Toronto was outscored 56-27 in those 10 games.

Run line/Against the spread

AVOID THE MESSY JUICE: PASS.

Over/Under

Both starters look to be a bit too far over their skis with their surface ERAs. Philly has some play in its defensive numbers and fade in its offensive numbers.

TAKE THE OVER 7.5 (-130).

Philadelphia Phillies at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Philadelphia Phillies at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Philadelphia Phillies (46-41) and Toronto Blue Jays (45-42) meet Tuesday at 7:07 p.m. ET to play the front half of a 2-game interleague set at Rogers Center. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Phillies vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting. Toronto took 2 of 3 from Philadelphia in 2021.

Philadelphia hurlers had compiled a tidy 1.80 ERA in 4 games prior to falling 6-1 at St. Louis Monday. The Phillies enter Tuesday’s contest without the benefit of something their hosts have under their belt: A Monday off day.

Toronto perhaps needed that day for multiple reasons. The Blue Jays are reeling, having lost 4 in a row and 9 of their last 10. Toronto has been outscored 56-27 in those 10 games.

Phillies at Blue Jays projected starters

RHP Andrew Bellatti vs. RHP Jose Berrios

Bellatti (1-3, 3.14 ERA) is scheduled for 1st career start after 52 career relief appearances. In 28 2/3 IP this season, he’s logged a 1.22 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 3.4 K/9.

Will likely serve as an opener for this game, yielding to a bulk pitcher after perhaps an inning-plus.
Owns a career ERA of 3.42.
Threw 26 pitches in an inning of work Sunday. The 26 tosses marked a season high.

Berrios (6-4, 5.44 ERA) is tabbed for his 18th start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 in 89 1/3 IP.

Has lost a bit of zip on his fastball, and his strikeout percentage (18.7%) is the lowest it has been since his 2017 rookie season.
Has struggled mightily on the road (7.15 ERA, 1.55 WHIP).
