The oddsmaker has priced this game a run too high in my view given a pitching matchup of Aaron Nola versus Nick Pivetta.

Nolan is a proven ace. His 4.53 ERA seems high, but judging by various metrics he's pitched better than that having had some bad luck. 

Nick Pivetta can be hit-or-miss. He's been solid most of the season, though, and certainly won't lack motivation going against his former team. He's off a brilliant start shutting out the A's in seven innings with 10 strikeouts in a 1-0 victory a week ago.

This is the final game before the All-Star break so both managers won't be afraid to employ their best relievers for multiple innings if needed.
