The Phillies have won 4 of 5 and just dropped 9 on the White Sox on Sunday. Toronto has actually been fine at home lately, taking 2 of 3 from Baltimore over the weekend with back-to-back 6-4 wins, but losing Daulton Varsho's bat in center and still waiting on Alejandro Kirk thins out a lineup that was already short Anthony Santander and Addison Barger. Asking what's left of the Blue Jays' offense to chase Sánchez is a tall order.

Pinnacle has the Phillies at -170 with the run line a coin flip at +100/-113. That's a heavy number for a road favorite, but it's the kind of price the market hangs on the best pitcher in baseball facing a guy whose xERA says regression has been overdue for a month. The total sits at 7.5 with juice to the under, which tracks — Sánchez has gone 7 innings in 3 of his last 4 and the Jays' offense without Varsho and Kirk isn't built to slug their way out of trouble.
If Toronto wants a window, it's probably innings 1-2 against a Corbin who's been getting punished early, and hoping Sánchez finally has a human start at some point this calendar year. The smart money says they don't get either. Phillies in a quiet 4-1.
