PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -115 W/ LOPEZ
over SAN FRANCISO W/ SANCHEZ
Absolutely love this spot here. This San Francisco team isn't a good team at all, I don't care what their record says. They just played three games at home against Pittsburgh, who is in the middle of trading everyone on their team including the bat boy and even though the Giants swept them, they were far from impressive in victory. They scored just 8 runs in the 3 games and two of the wins came by 1 run, and they needed extra innings to win a game as well.
Now the Phillies come to town and this team is just streaking. They are 19-4 over their last 23 games and the whole team has to feel pretty damn good about it's chances to get back to World Series and possibly repeat with the acquisition of Cliff Lee yesterday.
They are batting .350 in their last 10 games vs. left handed pitching and I'm not sold on Sanchez at all, despite his no hitter. Facts are facts, take that no hitter out, which was probably the biggest fluke of all time, and his last 7 starts add up to this. 34 2/3 innings pitched, 27 earned runs allowed, for a 7.14 earned run average. Please now, to get a team like the Phillies, who are hitting left handed pitching well, against this guy at this price is wonderful in my book.
As for our starter, Rodrigo Lopez, he has only made 4 starts this year but 3 of them were quality starts and the Phillies are a perfect 4-0 in those games. Batters still relatively do not know his stuff and with the Giants averaging just 2.6 runs per game in their last 10, I can see Lopez easily giving us a quality start here. By the way, the Phillies have scored 33 runs in their last 5 games.
Basically here's what we have. The hottest team in the league, hitting left handers well, against a low rate left handed starting pitcher. We get the better team with a pitcher who has been very good at a very manageable price. Can't ask for more then this when it comes to baseball and that's why I guaranteed the game.
