The Philadelphia Phillies are not going to take over the NL East from the Atlanta Braves, but they're the top NL Wild Card team despite yesterday's loss. The Toronto Blue Jays are currently the third Wild Card team in the AL, which is the stronger "conference" of the two. The Blue Jays (67-54) also have the better record on the season, and they're starting to get healthy. Toronto has had success vs. Philly starter Aaron Nola, who has a 4.94 ERA in five career starts against the Jays. The Phillies gave up 30 runs in those five games (6.0 per game). I like Toronto in this one.
