Toronto Blue Jays vs Philadelphia Phillies. MLB’s pick for game 3 is the Toronto Blue Jays -140. Velasquez needs to step up with the Phillies lacking in starters due to injuries. It’s still hard to side with them in this game since Velasquez is not doing well on the mound in his last starts. Ryu is in the starting position with some ups and downs this season but he is doing better than Velasquez. He can certainly hold off the Phillies in this game for the team to take advantage early. Toronto is 9-4 in their last 13 games against the Phillies. Toronto takes on this game to a predicted score of 7-3.
