This is an 8* PITCHING DOMINATION on the Phillies runline.

I'm not smelling any upsets here. The Cards look completely dejected, and the Phillies are continuing to get stronger with each passing game. It's in fact very reminiscent of last year at this time for the Phillies, where they caught fire and rode the wave to the World Series.

They've outscored the Cards 19-3 over the first two games, and all signs point to another blowout here in my opinion.

The Cards hand the ball to the volatile Drew Rom (0-1, 14.73 ERA), who is set to make his second career start after allowing eight runs over three innings in an 11-1 loss to the lowly Pirates on Monday.

The home side counters with veteran Aaron Nola (11-8, 4.49), who comes in off a strong performance, allowing two runs over seven innings in a 10-4 victory over the Giants last Monday.

Nola has once again been much better at home than on the road this year, posting a 3.49 ERA in 11 home starts.

Look for Philadelphia to continue the HIT PARADE and lay the price with confidence.

Good luck, NP
