Philadelphia Phillies @ Toronto Blue Jays – BLUE JAYS TO WIN (-150)
Toronto will send their opening day lineup out on the field today (although Smoak might platoon with Valencia). Philadelphia might be doing the same as there is virtually no travel between the two clubs sprint training camps, but even so the Phillies line up doesn’t match up to this Blue Jays lineup. Toronto will also send Aaron Sanchez to the mound today for probably his last full start of the spring. He has a 3.39 ERA over 5 starts this spring, but hitters are batting just .217 against him with a 1.04 WHIP. Potential number 5 starter, Sean O’Sullivan, will be on the mound for Philadelphia. This spring O’Sullivan has a 6.75 ERA over 6.2 innings with batters hitting .321 against him. Last year in 12.2 innings with the Phillies he had a 6.39 ERA, and in Triple-A he had a 4.31 ERA over 25 starts. I’ll lay the -150 here tonight, as I think if this was a regular season game with this match up we would see the line in the -200 range.
