Colorado Rockies vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

I’m taking the Phillies in this one. The Phils aren’t going to win every game, but I think it’s fair to say that they’re probably going to come out on the right end of it more often than not a lot of the time. I’m not the biggest Aaron Nola fan, but I still think he’s the better pitcher by a fair margin here. Dakota Hudson just has not had much go right in his Rockies tenure to this point and I think this potent Phillies’ lineup gets to him early and often here. Give me the Phillies.
