Will Phillies Bats Stay Hot on ESPN?

The Phillies may be the absolute hottest team on the planet at home this season. They are 24-8 at home, they have scored more runs than anyone in the entire league, and they are currently on a 3 game winning streak. On top of that, the Phillies have actually won their last 8 games at home, sweeping the last two visitors. A win against the Cardinals tonight would guarantee a third straight sweep at home, 9 wins in a row at home, and another game further in the lead of the NL East.

Now, do the Cardinals have any chance tonight? Of course they do. Lance Lynn actually pitched out of his mind the last time he faced the Phillies, but that was at home. In 6 road starts this season, Lynn has allowed a home run in 4 of those games and he’s given up an earned run in 5/6 road starts. I think on the road against the Phillies bats, he could be in for a rough outing.

I’ll be backing the home team tonight on the run line.

St. Louis Cardinals vs Philadelphia Phillies Best Bets

Best Bets: Phillies -1.5 (+144) BetOnline

We are once again backing the Phillies tonight on national television. I truly think this is just the perfect time to fade Lance Lynn. Look, the Phillies bats are hot, they are undeniably the most complete team in baseball, and I see them extending their 8 game home winning streak. Lynn walked 4 batters in 5 innings last time against the Phillies, and the Cardinals still ended up losing the game. The Cardinals have also lost 5 of the L6 games Lynn has started, even though he has only picked up the loss in 3 of those games.

Point being, the Phillies are better than the Cardinals, Plain and simple, don’t over think it, and take the Phillies by 2 tonight.
