Merrill Kelly is struggling big-time, but his best start this season came against these Phillies. This is a huge game for Arizona as the Diamondbacks sit 2.5 games behind the Phils and Nats. They are coming off two straight wins over Washington in which they produced 25 runs. Vince Velasquez has allowed eight homers in his last six starts, and I think Arizona knocks him around here.
Merrill Kelly is 7-11 with a 4.52 ERA on the season but he is 3-4 with a 3.77 ERA at home. Vince Velasquez is 3-6 with a 4.40 ERA and 3-4 with a 4.60 ERA on the road. In Kelly’s one outing against the Phillies this season, he threw 7.2 scoreless innings. The Phillies are 24-27 on the road this season and 11-20 as the road underdog.
