The Lean
The Blue Jays are favored with a moneyline of -113 against the Phillies at -106. The Blue Jays have a slightly better batting average and on-base percentage, which gives them an edge. My model projects the Blue Jays to win with a score of 5-4, making them the recommended pick.
The over/under line is set at 9.0. Both teams have strong hitting stats, but their pitching shows some vulnerabilities. With a projected total score of 9, the recommendation is to take the over. The teams’ combined offensive capabilities suggest a high-scoring game.

MLB Data & Insights
Phillies’ Mick Abel Set for Electric Return Start vs. Blue Jays
Mick Abel is back—and the buzz around his return is impossible to ignore.
After a sensational MLB debut in May, where he struck out nine batters over six scoreless innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Abel is making his way back to the majors. At just 23, he tied a Phillies franchise record for strikeouts in a debut. Not bad for your first day on the big stage.
Despite the impressive performance, he was temporarily sent back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. But Phillies manager Rob Thomson made it clear that Abel wasn’t going to be down there long. And true to his word, Abel returns Wednesday night to face the Toronto Blue Jays, stepping in for Zack Wheeler, who is on paternity leave.
With Taijuan Walker transitioning to the bullpen, the timing is perfect for Abel to shine again. Scheduled to go toe-to-toe with Blue Jays’ right-hander Jose Berrios, this game has all the makings of a can’t-miss matchup.
Abel vs. Berrios: A Tale of Two Arms
Let’s talk pitching. Abel (1-0, 0.00 ERA) was dominant in his debut. Zero earned runs, five hits, no walks. Smooth as silk.
His counterpart, Jose Berrios, has been less consistent. Sporting a 2-2 record with a 3.86 ERA, Berrios has had his fair share of trouble against the Phillies. In fact, his ERA balloons to 7.47 when facing Philly, thanks in part to a rough outing earlier this season where he gave up eight runs in under four innings.
Philadelphia already drew first blood in this three-game series with a commanding 8-3 win on Tuesday night. Now, they’re looking to clinch the set with another victory.
Bryce Harper’s Return Sparks the Phillies’ Offense
If there’s one player who brings a jolt of energy to the Phillies’ lineup, it’s Bryce Harper.
After sitting out five games with a bruised elbow, Harper made his presence felt immediately. A home run, two walks, and a pair of runs scored—talk about coming back with style. The Phillies went 1-4 without him, which shows just how crucial he is to their success.
Harper’s fearless attitude at the plate is part of what makes him special. Even after taking a fastball off the elbow from Atlanta’s Spencer Strider, he’s not backing down. “I’m not going to back off the plate,” Harper said. “It’s just a little scarier nowadays… but wearing an arm guard helps.”
Defense, Bohm, and the Blue Jays’ Power Threat
Don’t sleep on Alec Bohm. He notched four hits and made a highlight-reel defensive play against George Springer. A diving grab followed by a rocket from his knees—Bohm’s glove is catching up to his bat, and that’s dangerous news for opposing teams.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays aren’t lacking in firepower either. Addison Barger is riding a four-game home run streak and drilled another two-run bomb in Tuesday’s game. His plate approach is improving, and Jays manager John Schneider couldn’t be happier.
Davis Schneider also launched a home run, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. extended his on-base streak to an impressive 33 games, even in an 0-for-3 performance.
Roster Updates: Jays Activate Gimenez and Heineman
Toronto made a few moves before the game, activating Andres Gimenez and Tyler Heineman from the injured list. Gimenez returned to the starting lineup, although he went hitless in three at-bats. Michael Stefanic and Ali Sanchez were designated for assignment to make room.
With the Phillies aiming to secure the series and Abel eager to prove he belongs, Wednesday’s game promises excitement, pressure, and possibly more fireworks.
