Starting Pitchers Bring Left-Handed Looks
Philadelphia is expected to start Cristopher Sanchez, who enters with a 7-2 record, a 1.46 ERA, a 1.09 WHIP, 86.1 innings pitched, 77 hits allowed, 103 strikeouts, 17 walks, and three home runs allowed. Toronto is expected to counter with Patrick Corbin, who is 2-2 with a 3.98 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP, 54.1 innings pitched, 59 hits allowed, 37 strikeouts, 16 walks, and six home runs allowed.
Philadelphia Looks to Keep Its Recent Form Going
Philadelphia enters this matchup with a 34-30 overall record and a 16-13 road record. The Phillies have gone 4-1 over their last five games, recently winning over Chicago and San Diego while recently losing to Chicago in their most recent contest.
Philadelphia is batting .227 with 253 runs, 485 hits, 80 home runs, a .296 on-base percentage, and a .386 slugging percentage. The pitching staff has a 4.03 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, 172 walks, 600 strikeouts, and a .256 opponent batting average.
Philadelphia’s main strength in this matchup is power. The Phillies have 80 home runs, which is well ahead of Toronto’s total, and that gives them a clear way to create offense even with a lower batting average and on-base percentage.
Toronto Seeks Another Home Response
Toronto comes into Monday’s contest with a 31-34 overall record and an 18-14 home record. The Blue Jays have gone 2-3 over their last five games, recently winning over Baltimore and Atlanta while recently losing to Baltimore and Atlanta.
Toronto is batting .249 with 266 runs, 544 hits, 61 home runs, a .313 on-base percentage, and a .385 slugging percentage. The pitching staff has a 4.04 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, 208 walks, 575 strikeouts, and a .242 opponent batting average.
Toronto’s key strength is contact and base production. The Blue Jays have the higher batting average, more hits, more runs, and better on-base percentage in this matchup. The concern is that Philadelphia has the more powerful profile and the stronger starting pitching numbers.
