Love the Phillies in the altitude against a rag-armed lefty who doesn't have great stuff either. PHI could put up slow-pitch softball numbers in this series and the top of their order tends to get started quickly. This is the least of the Phils starters but still has a stout 3.31 ERA. It's hard to get a price we like given what a miss-match this is, but the first 5 eliminates any bullpen hijinks and I like Philly to start doing damage early in this series. Phillies have scored 165 runs in innings 1-5, most in MLB

The Phillies hit Coors Field with a 37-14 record, off to the fastest start in MLB since the 2001 Mariners and they won 116. The Rockies were recently hot, but they're back and have lost five of six. They played extras each of the last two days and Ty Blach won't get deep enough to save them from a bullpen meltdown. The Phillies' offense will go nuts in this one and we'll play the run line (-1.5, -135) to bring the odds down.
