The Philadelphia Phillies snapped their 3-game skid yesterday thanks to the bats of Bryce Harper and Andrew McCutcheon. Today they will go for a series win against the Colorado Rockies when they play the second game of a 3-game set at Citizens Bank Park. I like the Phillies chances in this one because they will have their ace on the hill, Aaron Nola. He is a perfect 3-0 on the season, with a 4.86 ERA, and a 1.55 WHIP. Over his last 3, that ERA has dropped to 3.07 and Philadelphia is 4-1 in Nola’s last 5 starts. The Rockies will send Antonio Senzatela to the hill and he is 3-2 on the season but his ERA is elevated at 5.35 with a 1.40 WHIP, and over his last 3 turns, his ERA has soared to 7.04. Harper and company should be able to take advantage of that and the Phillies are 4-1 in their last 5 at home against the Rocks.
