Date: Tuesday, April 24, 2018

Where: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Watch on: FS Arizona, NBCS Philadelphia

Odds: Phillies -110

Total O/U: 7½u (-115)

Arizona has the best record in the National League with a pitching staff that is leading the way. Their 2.75 team ERA is tops in the league. The Diamondbacks have yet to lose a series yet this year and just took two of three from San Diego over the weekend.

Philadelphia started their tenure under new manager Gabe Kapler at 1-4. Since then he’s guided the ship to a 13-3 record and the third best record in the National League. He’s got a hardcore analytics style that includes pulling pitchers regularly before a third trip through the opponent’s lineup and it’s paying off. The Phillies have the second-best ERA in the NL thus far at 3.01. They are fresh off a four-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates and are 9-1 at home.

Robbie Ray (2-0, 4.98 ERA) stat line is ugly mostly because of a poor first start of the season. Since then he’s allowed six runs in 16.2 innings for a 3.33 ERA along with 25 strikeouts. The Diamondbacks lost his last start 4-3 to the Giants as he allowed two runs in six innings.

Vince Velasquez (1-2, 3.80 ERA) has a similar story to tell. After getting rocked in his first start, he’s allowed five runs in 18.2 innings for a 2.47 ERA. He gave up three runs in six innings in a 7-3 loss to Atlanta last time out.

Pitching Matchup:

Diamondbacks: LH Robbie Ray (2-0, 4.98 ERA)

Phillies: RH Vince Velasquez (1-2, 3.80)
