José Berríos will start for the Blue Jays, with a solid ERA of 3.38. His ability to limit runs and control the game can help Toronto secure a win. With players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette in the lineup, the Blue Jays have the potential to outscore their opponents.
The Phillies Can Win If…
The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a narrow 3-2 win against the Toronto Blue Jays. Cristopher Sánchez pitched seven strong innings, allowing only two earned runs. Max Kepler hit a home run, contributing to the team’s victory.
The Phillies have strong stats that show why they can win. Their batting average ranks 5th in the league, and their on-base percentage is 4th. With Zack Wheeler on the mound, who has a 2.85 ERA, they have a solid chance to keep the Blue Jays’ bats quiet.

The Lean
The Phillies are the favorites with a moneyline of -186 against the Blue Jays at +155. The model projects a score of Phillies 5, Blue Jays 4.

Wheeler on a Mission as Phillies Go for Sweep of Blue Jays
The Philadelphia Phillies will go for a three-game series sweep of the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon, but for their ace, the game is also personal. Zack Wheeler, a 109-game winner in his career, is on a mission to do something he’s never done before: beat the Blue Jays.
Wheeler’s White Whale
In six career starts against Toronto, Wheeler is 0-2. It’s a surprising blemish on an otherwise stellar resume. He’ll try to change that on Sunday, and he’s coming in hot after a fantastic outing against the Cubs his last time out.
“He pitched great,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “Velocity was up. I thought he was fantastic.”
Berrios has Been Brilliant
It won’t be easy, as the Blue Jays are countering with their own red-hot pitcher. Jose Berrios (2-2, 3.38 ERA) has been sensational in his last three starts, allowing just one total run over 18 2/3 innings. He also pitched six innings of one-run ball against these same Phillies just a couple of weeks ago.
“He’s been like that a lot of his career, really,” Toronto manager John Schneider said. “The poster boy for being a consistent major league starter.” This elite pitching duel between two aces is sure to be the focus on the scores and odds board.

Kepler Turns the Corner
The Phillies have been powered by an unlikely hero in this series. Max Kepler, who struggled mightily to start the month, delivered the game-winning home run in Saturday’s 3-2 victory. He’s found his swing and his confidence at the perfect time.
“Baseball comes with a lot of doubt. It’s a mental game,” Kepler said. “As of right now, I’m leaning on the guys on this team that really uplift me… and believing in myself.” Breaking out of a slump is a key mental aspect of the game discussed in our expert betting guide.
While the Blue Jays have lost two straight, they are still one of the hottest MLB teams over the last few weeks, with a 12-4 record in their last 16 games. To see if our experts think Wheeler can finally get his win and complete the sweep, check out our daily MLB picks.
