Game Prediction
The Phillies right now, even with their batting issues are still a strong team pitching wise. Philly is showing that they are trying to contend with strong pitching this season. Colorado this season is struggling to find any footing and its getting worse. With losing their ace to injury via a slide, and their pitching getting worse, this will be a long season for the Rockies. Philadelphia is also facing a lefty and their bats could have a fun night. The Rockies are looking to be weak this season and the Phillies are looking to take advantage of it tonight.
Final Pick
Philadelphia Phillies ML (-258)
