TORONTO @ PHILLY UNDER 10.5 -120
It shouldn't get rained out, but it will be wet and light showers for the afternoon. The Phillies will be facing a new pitcher 24-year-old Brad Mills. This is not a good spot for his first start being @ Philly, but it should take a few innings for Philly to get a read on him. Blanton has been pitching great lately despite his 5.17 ERA. In his last 4 starts he has pitched 27.0 innings, allowed just 6 runs, had 28 K's, and 6 BB. Those are solid rebound numbers for him, and good opponents included in that batch were Boston, LAD, and Florida. (Two Phillies offensive notables: Raul Ibanez has experienced a steady decline in his BA in the last two weeks dropping from .340 down to .312, but still holds his spot as the Phillies most productive player offensively. Jimmy Rollins hit 4-33 (.121) in his last 7 games). As long as the weather does not bring errors, we should have a slow game possibly with a few delays to get the players to lose concentration and just want to go home.
Prediction: TOR 3 PHI 5
