We took Philadelphia's price Friday, and Toronto snuck away with a 5-4 win that needed a ninth-inning escape, the first of what's become a two-game skid for the Phillies against this same team. Jesus Luzardo takes the mound looking to stop it, and the version of him over his last ten starts has been elite: a 2.26 ERA across 59.2 innings, holding the opponent to two runs or fewer in nine of those ten outings. Shane Bieber gets the ball for Toronto, and his season since returning in late June has been rocky, a 5.11 ERA and a 1.68 WHIP over eight starts, including one outing against Washington where he didn't survive the first inning. Philadelphia is a home favorite in the finale of this set after dropping the first two, exactly the spot where the Phillies have made visitors pay before. Toronto is finishing this trip under .500, and two tight, one-run wins on the road don't erase what Bieber has looked like since his return. Take Philadelphia this afternoon.

Pro Picks
Toronto at Philadelphia
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.
