The Yankees are starting to look better on the road, and hit better as they steal the first game in this series. Cole is on the mound and he has started to look in better form in July. The Yankees will back him up on the mound as their offense is hitting and their bullpen is still better. The Yankees are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against Philadelphia. Nola has been solid for the Phillies but he still lost his last two starts and gave up some runs. Philadelphia seems to be in a funk and they have some issues they need to resolve before bettors should consider them. The Yankees have the better lineup and offense.

Best bet: take the Yankees on the moneyline (ML).
