Free Betting Pick: Philadelphia Phillies -130
The Philadelphia Phillies have taken over as the clear-cut favorite in the NL East, and they should have no problem continuing their success at home against a 4th place team in the Colorado Rockies. Cole Irvin will be taking the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies, and after his first career start the organization is drooling over what the youngster brings to the table. The Colorado Rockies have a ton of talent in their starting lineup, but they can’t seem to consistently score runs which will be a problem with a run-prone pitcher on the mound in Jon Gray. Final Score Prediction, Philadelphia Phillies win 7-3.
