Sport: MLBPick Selection: PHILLIES
I'm laying the price with PHILADELPHIA. Chase Utley has a 27-game hitting streak and the Phillies are coming off consecutive wins. I expect both streaks to continue this evening. Nolasco comes off a pair of strong starts for the Marlins. However, both those games were played in Florida where the rookie right-hander has pitched well. Things have been much different on the road. In fact, Nolasco has an ugly 6.53 ERA in six road starts, with the Marlins going just 1-5. Myers, on the other hand, has a solid 3.59 ERA at home. The Phillies' hitters got a brief look at Nolasco in a bullpen session earlier this season and liked what they saw. Nolasco only recorded two outs in that appearance while allowing four earned runs. Meanwhile, Myers has won his last four decisions against the Marlins inlcuding a 4-2 victory back in April. Look for Myers to outpitch Nolasco as the Phillies keep their momentum going for another day.
