The Toronto Blue Jays are 0-6 in interleague play with 12 games remaining, and there's no break in sight as they travel to Citizens Bank Park for the opener of a three-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies, -210 favorites in the Bodog Sportsbook.

The Blue Jays were an AL-best 27-14 through May 18, but a nine-game losing streak that began the next day paved the way for a 7-17 record since, which is the AL's worst.

Poor pitching has been the Jays' biggest issue. Toronto has a major league-worst 5.10 ERA since May 19, and it's allowed 31 homers in 24 games.

Keeping the Phillies, who have hit an NL-high 90 home runs, off the scoreboard won't be easy, particularly in homer-happy Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies will get their first look at Ricky Romero, while Cole Hamels will be making his first career start against the Blue Jays.
