MLB Odds Phillies vs Blue Jays MLB Picks – June 25th, 2010: Toronto begins a three game set tonight with the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia; however, due to an odd scheduling twist, the Blue Jays will serve as the home team in the Phils home park. The G20 Summit, which is taking place in Toronto, forced MLB to create the most unusual of circumstances for the interleague series. Regardless of location, MLB Picks at SBGglobal.com have the Phillies listed as a heavy -220 moneyline favorite and the game total set at 8.5 with the Over drawing -115 odds.
The Blue Jays enter tonight's game with a 39-34 record after snapping a three game losing skid last night with a 5-0 win
over St. Louis. Toronto, which is 5-5 in its last 10 games, currently owns fourth place in the tightly contested AL East; the club is 6.5 games back of the first place Yankees in the division standings.
Philadelphia comes into this series fresh off a three game sweep of the Cleveland Indians, bringing its record to 38-32 on the season. Like the Blue Jays, the Phillies find themselves mired in a heated division race as they presently rank third in the NL East but are mere 2.5 games back of the first place Braves.
Getting the start this evening for Toronto is 25 year old Jesse Litsch. Litsch, who came off the DL earlier this month, has made two starts thus far and they could not have been more opposite in nature. The Florida native was shelled for nine hits and seven earned runs over 2.1 innings by the Rockies in his season debut; however, he recovered nicely in his last outing, allowing three hits and no earned runs over seven innings in a 3-0 win against the Giants.
Longtime Blue Jay Roy Halladay will take the hill tonight against his former club in what should have been a return to the Rogers Centre. The former Cy Young winner is 8-6 with a 2.43 ERA in 15 starts for his new club. Despite his solid numbers, the Phillies are 0-3 in his last three appearances.
Tonight's series opener is scheduled to get underway at 7:05pm ET.
MLB Picks Betting Trend: The Phillies are 3-7 straight up in their last 10 games in the month of June with a total between 8.5 and 10 (Under 7-3).
