Philadelphia Phillies vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/3/24, 11:06 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 9/3/24 at 11:09 AM in MLB Picks

The Philadelphia Phillies (81-56) open a two-game series with Toronto Blue Jays (67-72) on Tuesday, looking to extend their winning streak to three games. The Philadelphia hits the road after going 5-2 on their recent seven-game home stand. With less than a month left in the regular season, it would be a major collapse by the Philles if they don’t end up winning the National League East title four weeks from now. Monday’s 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves showed the team’s ability to win close games through clutch hitting and excellent pitching from their bullpen, which allowed a 3.44 ERA over the last past 5 games. The Blue Jays return home at the Roger Center after winning just three games in their recent seven-game road swing. At 67-72, all Toronto wants to accomplish between now and the end of the regular season is to avoid finishing dead last in the AL East standings. Right now, the Jays rank last in their division, 1.0 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays (67-70) and 3.5 games below the third-placed Boston Red Sox (70-68)
