Phillies vs Blue Jays MLB Betting Preview
Phillies vs Blue Jays Pick, Betting Analysis
We just witnessed one of the best six-start stretches in MLB history, via Cristopher Sanchez from the Phillies. He tossed 50 2/3 scoreless innings over seven starts (the last few innings against the Giants on 4/30), every start in May, and 6 2/3 against the Padres before they tagged him for a lone run.
The best part? He provided unreal length in these games, throwing 7+ innings in his last six starts and 8+ in three of the six.
It's been a dominant season for Sanchez, who owns a 1.46 ERA with a 2.83 xERA and 1.80 FIP. He's a monster and the frontrunner for NL CY Young, no doubt.
Given all that, it makes sense to find a way to back him, but it's hard to trust this Phillies club as -180 on the road.
So, I wanted JUST a Sanchez-related bet to back. I'm targeting the over on his outs-recorded prop against the Blue Jays for a few reasons.
For one, Sanchez goes deep in games, as I said. He doesn't get tired because he doesn't rely on 98+ mph velocity. He throws hard, averaging 95 mph on his sinker, but his 58.3% groundball rate allows him to go deep in contests.
From the Blue Jays portion of this, they have the type of lineup that Sanchez could carve up. Only two teams in the league have a strikeout rate below 20% this year: The Rays at 18% and the Jays at 19%. Toronto is also 29th with a 7.6% walk rate.
Sanchez has cut his BB/9 to a minuscule 1.74, which allows him to give Philadelphia 7+ innings in virtually every start.
Although Sanchez records close to 60% of his outs on the ground, he also strikes out 10.74 batters per nine. When he needs to hunt for strikeouts, his changeup is an absolute weapon as teams prep for his sinker.
From an approach standpoint, I think the Blue Jays will look to be aggressive. That should allow Sanchez to get quick outs and pitch deeper into the game.
Last year, Sanchez pitched against this Blue Jays team and went seven innings with five strikeouts. I know it's a different year, but this Toronto lineup is pretty similar to last year, sans Bo Bichette and the injury to Alejandro Kirk. If anything, that helps Sanchez's chances of notching another 7+ inning outing against a weaker lineup.
Take the OVER on Sanchez's outs recorded prop.
Pick: Cristopher Sanchez Over 20.5 Outs Recorded (-110)
