Analyst Backs Phillies Run Line Behind Sanchez's 1.46 ERA Against Blue Jays

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 8

Summary

  • Philadelphia is the recommended play on the run line, with the analyst favoring the first five innings as Christopher Sanchez starts against Toronto.
  • Sanchez enters with a 1.46 ERA, 103 strikeouts and a recent left-hander record for scoreless innings; Blue Jays hitters are batting .204 against him.
  • Toronto counters with Patrick Corbin, who is 2-2 with a 3.98 ERA, but Phillies hitters own a .335 average against the former Nationals left-hander.
  • The pick also leans on team form: Philadelphia has climbed to 35-30 after a managerial change, while Toronto sits two games under .500 and is still dealing with pitching injuries.
