The Philadelphia Phillies need a victory to avoid getting swept by the Blue Jays. They let a 5-0 lead get away Saturday afternoon but I expect them to hold the distance here with right-hander Vince Velasquez (8-9, 4.06 ERA) on the mound. Velasquez is owns a 2.97 ERA in 11 road starts on the season and this will mark his first regular season start against Toronto which turns to right-hander Marco Estrada (7-9, 4.88). Estrada has posted a 5.45 ERA in 11 career games (five starts) against Philly and he's 3-5 with a 4.91 ERA in 11 starts at home on the year.

Phillies are 14-3 in their last 17 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. Blue Jays are 2-9 in Estrada's last 11 starts vs. a team with a winning record.

8* play on Philadelphia Phillies.
