The Phillies are already playing like it's October and I like their chances again here tonight. They have won 15 of 19 and they face Lucas Harrell who has pitched well at home, but the way the Phillies are hitting and playing he's going to have a tough time. First of all the Phillies will start it with 4 straight LH batters and that's going to be a challenge for RHP Lucas Harrell. Harrell also relies on the ground ball as he's third in the league in GB%. Actually the two guys ahead of him are Jake Westbrook and Trevor Cahill who have similar stats across the board. The Phillies are 4-1 in those 5 games they have faced the top 3 in GB%. Westbrook/Cahill have combined for a 5.10 ERA and they were even worse when the Phillies were the visiting team. I expect the Phillies to continue to pitch well out of the bullpen and for the Astros to continue being one of the leagues worst teams.

Where to find Freddy?
