It is rare to see a team face a knuckle ball pitcher in back to back games but that is exactly what the Phillies will get to face here on Tuesday night. They have a great approach even though they have been shut out against Wakefield. It's the exact reason why managers constantly change their rotation to separate the lefties from the righties. You don't want a line up to get used to a certain style of pitching. The Phillies are one of the best hitting teams in the league and I believe they step it up with Dickey on the mound for the Mets. The Phillies have owned the Mets going 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.
Sanchez has been just great this year since struggling in his first two starts he has an ERA close to 2. I believe the Marlins who have hit Kawakami really hard in his career are on the verge right now of getting hot after scoring 13 runs in a 13-0 win on Sunday.
