TAMPA BAY RAYS @ PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES – 3:41PM
The Rays take on the Phillies again today after a close matchup last night where the Phillies won 2-1. The Phillies have been in excellent form at home as they’re currently on a 3 game home winning streak going back to August 31st. Ranger Suárez is set to take the mound, and his recent performances suggest he’s in top form, which could spell trouble for a Rays team struggling to produce runs. Suárez’s ability to induce ground balls and limit hard contact plays into the Phillies’ strengths, especially against a Tampa Bay offense that has been inconsistent of late. With a dynamic lineup led by Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, who have been heating up, the Phillies have the offensive firepower to support their pitching and secure the win. Additionally, Taj Bradley, Tampa Bay’s starter, has had difficulty preventing runs with 8 home runs and 26 earned runs allowed over his last 5 starts. Philadelphia’s hitters are primed to exploit this. Count on the Phillies to win today and don’t be surprised if it’s by a large margin.
The Pick: Phillies Moneyline
NEW YORK METS @ TORONTO BLUE JAYS – 4:07PM
The Mets and Blue Jays face off again today after the Mets defeated the Blue Jays last night 3-2. The Mets are coming into this game with serious momentum, having won 9 of their last 10, while the Blue Jays have struggled in recent outings. David Peterson, with his strong performances on the mound, provides the Mets with a significant edge. The Mets have won six straight games that Peterson has appeared in. Peterson’s consistency is key to shutting down a Toronto lineup that has been unimpressive lately with a 1-6 overall record in its last 7 games. Meanwhile, Chris Bassitt has had difficulties in recent starts, which makes him vulnerable to a Mets offense featuring hitters like Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, both of whom are capable of putting runs on the board. With the Mets’ overall balance of pitching and hitting, they look poised to continue their hot streak. Take the Mets on the moneyline in this game.
The Pick: New York Mets Moneyline
