The Phillies are 1-4 in their last 5 road games and 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The Rockies are 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 8-3 in their last 11 overall. The under is 5-2 in Rockies last 7 overall. The Phillies are 4-11 in the last 15 meetings in Colorado and 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
The Philadelphia Phillies are playing their best ball of the season and their offense is picking up steam. The Colorado Rockies continue to underachieve, and it’s tough to get behind them with confidence. Aaron Nola is the more trustworthy pitcher over Kyle Freeland, who hasn’t had much success against the Phillies. Give me the road team and the RL for max betting value.
