Toronto is finishing this road trip under .500 at 54-62, and Friday's finale brings fresh complications: Jose Soriano makes his Blue Jays debut after Toronto acquired him from the Angels this week, taking the mound in Philadelphia days removed from the trade. He was sharp in July, a 2.74 ERA over four Angels starts, but adjusting to a new team and league mid-season is its own hurdle, and he's never faced this Phillies lineup as a Blue Jay. We took Toronto's price Monday in Houston, and it delivered, a 3-1 win built on the same kind of pitching mismatch. Tonight flips that script. Zack Wheeler gets the ball for a Phillies club that has won four of its last five games, and his 2.49 ERA with a sub-1.00 WHIP makes him one of the toughest assignments in the league right now. Soriano's stuff has played well this season, but not against a lineup this deep on essentially no notice with a new club. Philadelphia is the right side tonight.
