Our Phillies vs. Blue Jays predictions expect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Kazuma Okamoto to do some damage against Jesus Luzard.
Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. gets a favorable matchup tonight against Philadelphia Phillies starter Jesus Luzardo, and his underlying metrics suggest a breakout performance at the plate may be imminent.
He's also displayed an excellent approach at the plate this season, ranking in the 91st percentile in expected batting average. More so, Vladdy's hard-hit rate against Luzardo's pitch mix has jumped to 57% in June, up from his 45.8% season average.
Given his naturally low launch-angle profile, that increase in hard contact should translate into more line drives and sharply-hit balls finding the outfield grass.matches up very well with Luzardo’s three-pitch mix, owning a .417 average and a 16% barrel rate against them when facing southpaws. I’ll add Over 0.5 hits for Okamoto to my SGP. 64 times in his career and owns a 31.2% strikeout rate against him.
The Phillies catcher also owns just a .184 average against the four-seamer with a 19.6% K-rate, which is Scherzer's top pitch. Phillies vs Blue Jays home run pick: Kazuma Okamoto Luzardo gave up three homers in his last outing, but went four straight starts prior without allowing one, so we’ll just make this a half-unit wager.
Okamoto barrels the baseball well against left-handed pitchers, resulting in a .417 average against Luzardo’s three most-used pitches with an .833 slug and a 57.9% hard-hit rate. The Blue Jays have gone Over the total in eight of their last 11 games for +4.8 units and a 41% ROI.
