8/9 Philadelphia Phillies @ Arizona Diamondbacks 9:40pm EST

Phillies TT over 4.5 -110 (1u)

Headed back to Arizona, as last night we saw one of the luckiest cashes we had all year with Jake McCarthy hitting a soft liner that got down and ultimately scored the 10th run of the game to cash us out. Today, we are going back to Arizona but will focus on the Phillies TT here in this one as the Diamondbacks don't have much success against Wheeler. In 170 ABs vs. Wheeler the Diamondbacks are hitting .200 so we will leave them out of the equation for today.

For the Diamondbacks, it will be Ryne Nelson making the start. On the season, Nelson is 8-6 in 19 starts this year with a 4.65 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP in 110.1 innings. His last start was on 8/4 where he allowed 4 runs on 6 hits, 2 walks, and 7 K’s to the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Nelson is good for a solid 2 walks a game and tonight will be going up against a Philly team that are Top 3 in the league in walks per game. Against the Royals, Nelson got tagged too going 6.0 allowing 4 runs on 9 hits, 2 walks, and 2 K’s. He certainly has his struggles at home with a 5.33 ERA in 9 starts. He’s gone 49.0 innings allowing 2 HR, 10 Walks, and 39 K’s and with an opponent BA of .303 at home. The Phillies are 4-6 in their last 10, but they have hit the ball well hitting at a .265 average over this span.

Take the Phillies team total here in Arizona tonight as we like the Phillies to continue some hot hitting in Arizona and get to Nelson here tonight and get us over that 4.5 mark.
