Phillies vs Blue Jays Betting Pick
This game will be played at Rogers Centre at 7:07 PM ET on Tuesday, July 12, 2022.
Why Bet The Blue Jays:
✅ The Phillies haven’t announced who’ll get the starting call Tuesday in Canada. Both Ranger Suarez and Zach Eflin are on the IL, so the Phillies can opt for a bullpen day or give Bailey Falter a nod. Anyway, the Phillies will have a difficult job against the Blue Jays’ powerful lineup. Falter is 0-2 with a troublesome 4.82 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in five starts and four relief appearances (28 innings pitched) this season.
✅ Jose Berrios (6-4; 5.44 ERA) is projected to take the mound for the Blue Jays, though he could be pushed if Kevin Gausman (6-6; 2.86 ERA) is ready to return from an ankle injury. Berrios is having a poor season in general, but he’s pitched well in his last two starts. The 28-year-old righty has allowed just three runs through his previous 11 innings of work. On the other side, Gausman hasn’t allowed a single run over his last nine frames of work.

✅ The Blue Jays have won 12 of their last 18 encounters with the Phillies. They’ve dominated Philadelphia at home in the last ten years, going 14-5 in their last 19 contests at Rogers Centre. Last year, the Jays beat the Phillies 2-1 in a three-game set in Toronto.
Philadelphia Phillies
Monday night’s games have been excluded from the analysis, and the 46-40 Phillies were looking to clinch a four-game road series against the St. Louis Cardinals. They’ve blanked the Cards in the first two contests, 2-0 and 1-0, but suffered a 4-3 loss this past Sunday. The Phillies have gone 6-3 through their first nine games in July, posting a shiny 2.72 ERA and a decent .251/.306/.434 triple-slash.
Toronto Blue Jays
The 45-42 Blue Jays are in serious crisis. They are riding a four-game losing streak following Sunday’s 6-5 defeat at the Seattle Mariners, and Toronto has won only one of its previous ten games overall. The Blue Jays have scored just 36 runs through their first 11 outings in July while posting a pedestrian 4.93 ERA and .260 opposing batting average.
