(923) Toronto Blue Jays at (924) Philadelphia Phillies
PHI -117
Jose Berrios takes the mound for the Blue Jays and the Phillies have crushed him so far in his career. This Phillies lineup has a combined .326 against Berrios and 10 extra base hits in 94 combined appearances. Berrios has had a good start to his 2024 season but struggled in both of his recent starts while picking up the loss in each against KC twice. The Phillies have experience against Berrios and are one of the better performing lineups in the MLB.
Cristopher Sanchez will get the ball for the Phillies and while he has not had electric stuff as a starter, he keeps his team in the game while limiting big run innings. This Blue Jays lineup has never faced Sanchez before and first time around, the pitcher usually has the edge there. He does a good job by pitching away from contact and will face a lineup that is prone to the swing and miss.
