T.M. Selection: Phillies

Pittsburgh is 9-3 overall, including 6-1 on the road, while Philadephia is 6-6, including only 2-4 at home. The Pirates also got out to a huge start last season, and then crumbled by the half way point. Will that happen again this season? Maybe! Either way, I now think that the Pirates are getting too much respect here. Philadelphia took two of three at St. Louis and I like Ranger Suarez here at home over Jared Jones on the road. When you add it all up, I absolutely feel that the Phillies could/should in fact be a much bigger fav in this particular matchup.

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Philadelphia.
