Analysis
#918 ASA PLAY ON Philadelphia Phillies Run Line -1.5 (+110) over Toronto Blue Jays, Sunday at 1:35 PM ET - The Phillies are off a 7-5 loss in extra innings yesterday and have now lost B2B games. They are 19-4 the last 23 times they have entered a game off a loss by a margin of 2 or more runs!  Also, Philadelphia is expected to have Jesus Luzardo on the mound here and he has been fantastic with 2 earned runs or less allowed in 9 of his last 10 starts.  In fact, in those 9 starts he has allowed a total of only 8 earned runs while striking out 79 in 57 and 1/3 innings!  This included a strong start versus the Blue Jays in this run.  Luzardo is off a fantastic and efficient 8-inning outing in his last start with no earned runs on 4 hits and he dominates again here.  The Phillies had won 5 of 6 games before these B2B losses while Toronto, before getting the win yesterday, had been on a 2-8 run when entering a game off a win. The Blue Jays have been very inconsistent at the plate and this has made it tough for them to get on winning streaks over the past 5 weeks.  The Jays have 10 losses since the break and 9 of them were by 2+ runs! The Blue Jays are expected to send Shane Bieber to the mound and he has an 8.40 ERA in his 4 road starts this season with a 2.40 WHIP which means an average of 2.4 baserunners per inning via hit or walk!  14 of Philadelphia's last 15 wins have been by 2+ runs. Home blowout here. Lay the -1.5 runs with the Phillies.
