Colorado Rockies vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
The Philadelphia Phillies remain the hottest team in baseball, and not a team I’m excited to step in front of. The Phillies are on fire offensively and Cristopher Sanchez has been respectable this season, especially this month. The Colorado Rockies just can’t finish games, and their loss yesterday to the Athletics was how their season has gone in a nutshell. Ty Blach just can’t be trusted with an ERA over 5 in a short sample size. Two teams going in different directions. Give me the Phillies and the RL to shave down the juice.
