The Philadelphia Phillies are back to doing what they do best and that is win baseball games. Tonight, they will take a 2-game winning streak to Comerica Park to open a 3-game set with the Detroit Tigers. The Phillies’ bats are hot and so is Bryce Harper who is riding an 8-game hitting streak. In their last two wins over the Arizona Diamondbacks, they had 25 hits and outscored the Snakes, 16-2. That doesn’t bode well for the Tigers’ expected starter, Casey Mize. He is 1-5 with that lone win coming back in April and has an ERA of 4.44 with a 1.45 WHIP. The NL best Phillies, who also possess the lowest ERA in the majors, are expected to send Aaron Nola to the hill. He is 8-3 with a 3.54 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. Nola is also 2-0 in his career against the Tigers with an ERA of only 1.40 and Philadelphia has won 6 straight against Detroit.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
