Philadelphia Phillies
Moneyline Pick - Philadelphia Phillies (-170): B

Philadelphia’s recent dominance at home continues as they prepare to face Toronto again this afternoon. After a decisive 8–0 victory in the series opener, the Phillies have now won three of their last four games. Their bullpen has been a strong point, delivering consistent performances in late-game situations. Toronto, on the other hand, had a three-game winning streak snapped and is dealing with bullpen challenges, especially with key relievers unavailable. The Blue Jays' starter has shown inconsistency on the road, which could be a concern against a Phillies lineup that has been effective at home.

Considering Philadelphia's strong home performance and Toronto's bullpen issues, backing the Phillies on the moneyline seems like a solid play. The odds are reasonable, and the matchup favors the home team. It's a good opportunity to capitalize on the Phillies' momentum and the Blue Jays' current challenges.

Over/Under Pick - Under 8.5, (-110): B

Philadelphia enters this one with some recent momentum on the mound, having surrendered just nine runs over a four-game stretch, and they’ll rely again on a top-tier left-hander to set the tone. Toronto has been hot with a 7-3 run, but offensive uncertainty looms for both clubs given some nagging injuries to key bats. With each rotation lined up off a rest day and both bullpens ranked among the league’s most efficient, the setup strongly leans toward a more controlled pace.

Throw in a damp, cool afternoon forecast and recent home/road under trends for both teams, and the ingredients are there for a lower-scoring result. The number at 8.5 feels a touch generous for how this game may play out. This under earns a B grade—solid logic, favorable splits, and enough uncertainty in the lineups to justify the lean.

Spread Pick - Philadelphia Phillies, -1.5 (-118): B

Philadelphia looks poised to keep rolling at home, where their offense has been thriving and recent pitching performances have delivered steady results. The current matchup favors the hosts, particularly with the visiting club down a top starter and leaning heavily on a bullpen that’s been stretched over the past week. Conditions at Citizens Bank Park tend to reward power bats, and with both teams hovering around the postseason cutoff, urgency will be high—especially for a home side that has consistently separated in the late innings.

With the visitors 7-3 in their last 10 away but dealing with roster limitations, this looks like a spot where the home team pulls away late. They’ve cashed run line tickets in six of the last seven here, and the setup feels similar again. Laying -1.5 at plus odds makes sense in a tight playoff race where one side has the clear edge in form, depth, and park familiarity. Grade: B for a smart, momentum-backed play.
