Philadelphia Under (7') [Lee/Rodriguez] for 2 Units **
Phillies/Astros 8:05: Both of these teams are struggling to drive in runs now yet pitching
has been solid. The Phillies are batting a sluggish .232 over their last 9 games while
going 2-7 O/U in the process. The Astros just got off a road trip in which they batted an
anemic .212 through 9 games. And both teams are having trouble hitting lefties now; as
a matter of fact, over the last 10 games vs lefties, the Phillies have batted just .221 while
the Astros batted just .237. We'll look for these teams to delay finding their stroke taking
on pitchers who are in good form. Lee (1.80 ERA) had his first sluggish game for the
Phillies in his last start, and Rodriguez is finding his mark with a 2.54 ERA since June
21. The Astros are 5-22-1 in their last 28 following an extended road trip while the
Phillies are 1-7 O/U in game 1 of a series. "Under" the call.
