Roy Halladay is still getting credit which is shocking considering he posts a 6.47 ERA at night and an 8.55 ERA on the road overall it's been a disaster this year for Halladay and the Phillies who just finished up their homestand on Sunday before flying to Miami for what will more likely be a mini vacation this time of year. The Marlins got plenty of people in the line up that are trying to impress the franchise for playing time this year and next season. They also put out one of their up and coming starters in Nathan Eovaldi who averages 96+mph on his fast ball and has a nasty slider to go with it. Eovaldi has had a qaulity start in 75% of his outings this year and faces a Phillies team that is hitting .247 with 3.25 runs per 9 on the road. The Marlins have the advantage on the mound especially since the Phillies are ranked 23rd and 19th in pitch value vs. fast ball and slider. Marlins also have the advantage in their bullpen and motivation to get the win. Phillies are also 7-19 in their last 26 as a road dog and have been a poor road team all year long.


I'm expecting a hang over here for the A's after clinching the division yesterday. There is bound to be a little less concentration and a little hang over here while the Angels are fighting to finish over .500 which they need to go 4-3 to do so. This is a great opportunity for them to get a win as they are 21-8 in their last 29 and Garrett Richards has been great posting a 2.48 ERA over his last 6 starts. Oakland sends Tommy Milone to the mound who has been average on the road and Josh Hamilton is 7-17 with 2 HR and has finally been hitting in September. Kendrick and Aybar also have big numbers vs. Milone.
