We added the Mariners late last night after our original POD was rained out!
Would be #1 in all MLB Categories at Watchdog but I joined this monitor late in the season!

Today's match up is interesting the line opened at -130 Phillies at home and has not moved despite 78% of the public being on the Phillies. The Phillies have struggled here at home at 13-17 and so has Jamie Moyer. The 46 year old who has pitched well in his last 3 games is due for a slip up and there is no better time in my opinion than tonight at home (6.82ERA here) at night (7.71 ERA) against a team that has just pummeled him. Wells (.342avg, HR), Scutoro (.379, 3HR), Rios (.474, HR), Overbay (.462, HR) Rolen (2-6), Hill (.375). I think you get the point. With the Phillies bullpen in shambles because the Phils have been involved 4 extra inning games in their last 6 games with the bullpen averaging over 5IP with a 6.33 ERA. I'd say they may be in trouble here tonight.
Richmond will go for the Blue Jays he has bounced from starting to the bullpen and he's been solid on the road. No Phillies hitter will see him so I do expect them to struggle a bit. He has a 3.56 ERA which will be good enough while the bullpen has a 2.95ERA last 10.
Worth noting: Umpire Mike Reilly is behind the plate where the road team is 8-2 in his last 10 games.
