Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies snapped a four-game losing streak with a win in the finale game of their series with the Nationals. Aaron Nola out-dueled Max Scherzer for a 2–0 win.
Jake Arrieta will go in the game that follows on Friday evening; that’s the first game of this series in Toronto. Nick Pivetta will go in this one.

Nick Pivetta is from Canada but in Victoria, far away from Toronto. He will be pitching in his home country as a Major Leaguer for the first time ever, though.
He came over from Washington as a pitching prospect in a trade for Jonathan Papelbon over three years ago now. That trade has gone well for the Phillies. Pivetta makes his twenty-fifth start of the season in this game.
Toronto Blue Jays
In fact, Pivetta’s home town in Victoria is closer to Barstow, California, where Aaron Sanchez grew up, than it is to Toronto.
Sanchez will come off the 60-day Disabled List to make his first start since June 21 on Saturday. He’s had blister problems and eventually suffered a contusion to his finger.

It’s been a lost year for Sanchez, who has shown flashes of being an ace. He was an all-star in 2016 but suffered control problems in 2017 and the injury issues this year. Perhaps he can finish with a good five weeks in 2018 and bring some momentum into next season.

Free Philadelphia Phillies vs. Toronto Blue Jays MLB Prediction: I really don’t know.
I just don’t know what to expect from the Phillies. I’m not thrilled about backing Sanchez but nor am I excited to get b behind Philadelphia as a road favorite.
