An interleague matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies (35-30) and Toronto Blue Jays (32-34) headlines Monday’s MLB slate as the two teams open a three-game series at Rogers Centre. Neither club has quite lived up to expectations this season, but both find themselves back in the playoff race as the midway point of the season approaches.
The Phillies fired former manager Rob Thomson after a disappointing 9-19 start, but they have completely turned their season around under Don Mattingly. Philadelphia owns the best record in MLB since Mattingly took over on April 28, going 26-11 during that span.
The Blue Jays, meanwhile, enter Monday two games below .500 despite being the reigning American League pennant winners.
Philadelphia has won five of its last six games, including a 9-5 victory over the White Sox on Sunday to secure a series win. The Phillies will now hand the ball to ace Cristopher Sánchez, who currently holds the best odds (+125) to win the 2026 NL Cy Young Award at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook. Toronto will counter with veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin, who is enjoying a much stronger season than in recent years and enters Monday with a 3.98 ERA through 11 starts.
Phillies vs. Blue Jays Current Odds
The Blue Jays are coming off a series win over Baltimore, but they have lost five of their last eight games. As a result, Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook lists the Phillies as road favorites with Sánchez and his MLB-leading 1.46 ERA taking the mound:
- Moneyline: Phillies -175, Blue Jays +145
- Run Line: Phillies -1.5 (-105), Blue Jays +1.5 (-115)
- Total (Runs): Over 7.5 (-110), Under 7.5 (-110)

Here’s a featured pick from the Stats Hub:
Phillies vs. Blue Jays Best Bet: Patrick Corbin Over 2.5 Earned Runs
The Phillies have struggled against left-handed pitching this season, owning the fourth-lowest team batting average (.220) against southpaws. However, the offense has started to heat up recently.
Philadelphia is averaging nine hits and 5.3 runs per game during its current stretch of winning five of its last six contests, with some of that success coming against left-handers.
Corbin is enjoying arguably his best season since 2019, but the veteran still enters Monday with an ERA close to 4.00. He allowed four earned runs, including a three-run home run, in his most recent outing against Atlanta. While Corbin has surrendered three or more runs in only four of his 11 starts, this Phillies lineup appears to be trending in the right direction.
