Under 8 Runs (-115)
Set for an intense clash at Citizens Bank Park, expect a low-scoring affair as the Blue Jays and Phillies combine for Under 8 runs this evening. One of the top teams in the MLB in cashing the Under, the Phillies are no strangers to slower-paced, methodical duels in order to come out with the upperhand.
Additionally, the Jays’ bats have struggled to produce on the road this season, posting the third-lowest runs-per-game total in baseball. With their inability to generate big plays, coupled with the stellar defence of the Phillies, runs are sure to come at a premium in tonight’s tilt.
Hammer the Under on this evening’s clash as the Blue Jays and Phillies struggle to make their way across home plate, resulting in a low-scoring matchup to help secure you an easy win on your MLB bet slips.
Under 8 Runs
Nathan Lukes Over 0.5 Hits (-200)
In the midst of a downright cold streak, look for Blue Jays right fielder Nathan Lukes to finally snap his dry spell and register a hit against the Phillies in tonight’s contest. Having only notched a single hit over his last eight games played, Lukes is due for an impact play in this evening’s showdown.
While Lukes has struggled to find his swing as of late, a promising sign of a turn in the tide comes from his success against the Phillies this season. In three meetings with the Phillies, Lukes has registered a hit in each game played. Set to square off against three-time MLB All-Star Zach Wheeler, it’s a tall task for any batter to generate a hit off him, but Lukes has already proven he has the stuff to best Wheeler, having earned a hit against him earlier this season.
At -200, bank on Lukes to generate some much-needed offence for his ball club, getting on base and creating a potential scoring opportunity as he records a hit against the Phillies.
Nathan Lukes Over 0.5 Hits
Jose Soriano Over 14.5 Outs (-180)
Looking to make an immediate impact in his Blue Jays debut, Jose Soriano will make his first appearance in the blue and white tonight. Having been a consistent producer for the Los Angeles Angels this season, look for him to have even better results as a member of the Jays, notching Over 14.5 outs on the mound this evening.
Over his last 10 games played, Soriano has managed to tack on Over 14.5 outs eight times, including a recent hot streak of five straight games heading into his Jays debut. With his combination of tremendous skill and durability, expect to see Soriano make his way through five complete innings, keeping his new ball club competitive, and making a strong first impression with the Toronto fanbase.
At -180, there’s great value in backing Soriano to record Over 14.5 outs as he is primed to continue his streak to six games this evening.
