The Phillies are averaging 5.4 runs this month as the offense has found its form. On Monday they throw a pitcher in Vince Velasquez that is coming off the only start that he's allowed three runs and gone fewer than five innings. On the road he has a 1.53 ERA and .188 average allowed. I think we have a major edge on the mound here Monday night.
Aside from an eight-inning, two-run gem against the Mets on April 20, Miles Mikolas has gone 5-6 innings and allowed 3-5 runs in all of them.
Take the PHILLIES.
