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’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.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Toronto Blue Jays Picks and Prediction

Philadelphia Phillies vs Toronto Blue Jays Pick

  • Pick: Philadelphia Phillies Moneyline

Toronto owns some offensive edges, but Philadelphia has the stronger overall record, the better recent five-game stretch, and a clear starting pitching advantage based on the provided numbers. Philadelphia also has the matchup predictor edge at 62.3%. I’ll take the Phillies to win on the road.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Toronto Blue Jays Total Pick

  • Take the under if the total is set at 8.5.

I would lean under if the number is 8.5 because Philadelphia’s expected starter enters with a 1.46 ERA and has allowed only three home runs across 86.1 innings.

Final Score Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies 4 – Toronto Blue Jays 2
