#904 ASA PLAY ON 8* Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 on the Run Line (-115) over Colorado Rockies, Thursday at 6:40 PM ET - The Rockies have lost 8 straight games and are 2-7 away from home this season.  Annually Colorado tends to be so bad on the road.  This long-term trend has resumed this season and, entering this contest, the Rockies have lost 7 straight road games!  Colorado has averaged only 2 runs scored per game in last 6 road games.  Colorado has even been struggling at home as, overall, the Rockies have averaged only 3 runs scored per game in last 8 games - all losses - and 5 of those were home games!  The Phillies have now won 4 of 6 games and have averaged 8.5 runs scored per victory in those 4 wins.  7 of Philadelphia's 8 wins have been by at least a 3-run margin this season.  We like the run line for all the reasons above and are not overly concerned with the starting pitching match-up here.  We'll take action on the pitchers with this run line play but we will mention that Ryan Feltner is 4-12 with a 6.46 ERA in his career and struggling again this season.  The Phillies Matt Strahm, on the other hand, has a respectable 3.74 ERA in his career and has been particularly strong as a starter this season after enjoying some prior successful runs out of the bullpen for the Red Sox and Padres in past seasons.  The Phillies have been putting up some really solid offensive numbers on the board.  The way Colorado’s offense is playing, the Phillies may not need many runs to cover the -1.5.  Take Philadelphia on the run line tonight.
