The set-up: The Phillies won 6-5 yesterday and with the vastly superior starting pitcher on the mound Saturday afternoon, I look for them to find a way to get the job done here as well. The visitors hand the ball to the volatile Steven Matz (0-3, 8.20 ERA), who was most recently crushed by the Nationals on Monday, allowing eight runs off eight hits, including three dingers, over only 4.1 frames of work. So far Matz has been shelled for 13 runs and five home runs over 7.1 innings.

The pick: Philadelphia counters with ace Aaron Nola (1-1, 2.79) who allowed one run off two hits with a walk while striking out ten over eight innings in a victory over Atlanta on Monday. Nola continues to dominate, entering with a sharp 27:2 K:BB over 19.1 innings of work this year. With a chance to extend his Cy Young candidate season in front of the home town crowd and in this favorable matchup, I'm going to lay the price and expect a big time blowout from start to finish.

This is a 10* PLAY-BOOK on the Philadelphia Phillies.
