Philadelphia is 38-18 in their last 56 home games and 2-6 in their last 8 games overall while the over is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. I’m just not trusting the starting pitching matchup as both starters are fully capable of getting chased here and the thing about Kevin Gausman is that on the road this season, he’s been pretty much all or nothing. You either get a top-tier effort or he gives up eight runs in the start like he’s done twice this season. I think we could easily get another disaster here so give me the over.
