6 OUT OF 10 CONSENSUS on the Phillies.

Coming into this series on Friday night, the Phillies have lost four straight. Whether they win or lose on Friday, we think this Saturday matchup absolutely favors Aaron Nola and the home side. Nola is 3-3 with a 4.53 ERA after allowing four runs off six hits over seven innings in a loss to the Rockies in his last outing. Last year Nola was 6-4 with a 3.53 ERA in front of the home town crowd and as we mentioned above, he for sure has the advantage of his counterpart Jameson Taillon, who is 0-2 with a 6.66 ERA after allowing four runs off seven hits over four innings in a loss to the Astros in his last outing. Look for the hungry home side to take advantage of what we feel is a lop-sidedly favorable starting pitching matchup. Lay the price, the play is PHILADELPHIA.

Good luck, TIR
