00:00They've won seven of their last eight, 12 of their last 14.
00:03Toronto now 38-30.
00:06They head to the bank this weekend.
00:08Philadelphia a slight home favorite in this Friday night opener
00:11with Ranger Suarez on the bump.
00:14Kevin Gossman on the other side for the Blue Jays.
00:17Minus 118 in that updated money line price in favor of Philadelphia.
00:22Total is eight.
00:23How does this weekend set between the Phils and the Jays begin?
00:27Yeah, just talked about San Francisco with a really good pitcher on the mound
00:29getting plus money.
00:30I'm thinking the same thing here with Toronto.
00:31Now, I did like the way the Phillies, you know,
00:33took their chances there against Chicago at the plate.
00:36I believe all three of those games, they had double-digit hits,
00:38which is fantastic.
00:39They're starting to wake up.
00:40But as you said, Toronto's bats have been fantastic.
00:43We'll get to the pitchers in a second.
00:44But if we're entering into this game over the past month,
00:46outside of George Springer, every single player on that team
00:49has really high weighted on base percentages against left-handed pitching,
00:52which is a great sign.
00:53Typically, the lefties usually get the best of the, as you say,
00:56the right-handed batters of any said team.
00:57Maybe only one lefty in the lineup today, but I do like the way that projects.
01:01And also, a lot of light strikeout numbers for the Toronto Blue Jays
01:04against lefties over the past month.
01:0581 degrees in Philadelphia, muggy conditions,
01:08wind blowing out to left field at eight miles per hour.
01:10Flip it over to the Phillies, where I told you,
01:12Turner, Schwarber, Boehm, Castellanos,
01:14all with really good numbers against righties over the past month,
01:16but more so over the past week here, those guys have woken up.
01:20Gaussman's a good pitcher.
01:21You know, you take a look at Suarez is a good pitcher.
01:23It's a smaller ballpark.
01:24I do lean towards the under, but sometimes it's hard to do.
01:27But I got to tell you, plus money price on the Toronto Blue Jays here,
01:30going toe-to-toe with the Phillies.
01:32Look, I'm a big Phillies fan.
01:33I am.
01:33But I think that's a pretty good advantage to have,
01:35saying we'll see if the Phillies continue to hit.
01:37Suarez has been a good pitcher.
01:38I get that.
01:39The Phillies are at home.
01:40That is an advantage.
01:41But Toronto just handled the Philadelphia Phillies
01:42in their past series in Toronto,
01:44and I like the way their bats check out here.
01:46So I do think there's a good chance they can knock off the Phillies,
01:49and if you're giving me plus money, I'll go that route.
01:51Let's do it.
01:52All right.
01:52See you next time.
01:54First of all,
