The Arizona Diamondbacks travel to Philadelphia riding a four-game winning streak, but I think the value is on the Phillies as a home favorite in this matchup.
Jerad Eickhoff (3-3, 4.14 ERA) will toe the slab for Philadelphia. The Phillies have won six of his last eight starts overall and he held San Diego to three runs on four hits over six innings while striking out five without a walk last time out. "He pitched a great game," Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. "He was very aggressive with his pitches."
Eickhoff owns a solid 3.24 ERA in three career starts against the D'Backs who turn to rookie right-hander Taylor Clarke (1-2, 4.43 ERA) for just his fifth major league start. This figures to be a tough game for the 26-year-old as he'll face a Philadelphia team that averages a healthy 5.18 runs per game home at Citizens Bank Park.
We can also note that the Diamondbacks have dropped six of their last eight as road dogs while the Phillies have won seven of their last eight as home favorites.
