Toronto @ Philadelphia picks

The main catalyst of the Jays’ offensive burst lately has been Alejandro Kirk, who boasts a .446 batting average and an eight-game hitting streak during this stretch. I expect his bat to continue to roll today, and the value play is specifically betting on him to hit a single, considering 80% of his total hits have been for one bag. Kirk has also recorded two hits in nine career plate appearances against Sanchez.
