Game 2 in Philadelphia, and the series score from the opener should shape how much stock to put in this one. Confirm the result of Game 1 before publishing, since Toronto’s response looks very different after a loss than after a win.

Team Analysis
Toronto Blue Jays
Toronto’s roster is built around individual performances right now rather than results, and the middle game of a road series is often where a fringe roster spot gets a chance to make a case for September.
Probable Starter: TBD (confirm before publish)
Philadelphia Phillies
Philadelphia’s lineup depth is the separator in the middle game of a series, when both bullpens are a little fresher and the difference in overall roster quality tends to show up more clearly than in an opener.
Probable Starter: TBD (confirm before publish)
Key Betting Angles
Middle games of series tend to regress toward the better team’s true form once the emotion of an opener wears off. Philadelphia’s deeper lineup and stronger bullpen are the safer building blocks for a read on Game 2, regardless of how Game 1 went.

Our Prediction
Cole’s Pick: Philadelphia Phillies to win
We like Philadelphia again in the middle game. The gap in roster quality between a division contender and a team well out of the race tends to show up over a series, and Game 2 is where that usually starts to compound.
Confidence on Philadelphia Phillies: medium, Philadelphia to win.
