Philadelphia Phillies vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/13/25, 3:29 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/11/26 at 8:30 AM in MLB Picks

The early odds release for Friday's Phillies-Blue Jays game, which kicks off the weekend series, has the Phillies as favorites at around -135. At similar odds, the Phillies started as Game 1 favorites when they faced the Blue Jays in Toronto a week ago. The Phillies won that game, but they went on to lose the series.

The Phillies' losses to the Blue Jays began a five-game losing streak for the Phillies, who were then swept by the Pirates. However, they returned to winning ways after beating the Cubs at Citizens Bank Park. Phillies starter Luzardo ended his streak of poor performances with a strong 10-strikeout pitch against the Cubs. Ranger Suárez will now pitch for the Phillies on Friday, having pitched at least six innings in each of his last six starts.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jays won eight of their last 10 games and completed their sweep of the Cardinals in St. Louis before Thursday's break and travel.
