NATIONAL LEAGUE HAMMER: $HARP 7-2 YTD!
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Miami,
Money Line: -152.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Loss
***8*** HAMMER Phillies.

I like the Phillies to lay the hammer down here in this favorable starting pitching matchup.

Philly looks to build off yesterday's 11-hit offensive outburst and subsequent victory by handing the ball to Zack Wheeler. He's 0-1 with a 1.93 ERA. Last year he led the Senior Circuit with 247 K's and finished 2nd in Cy Young voting.

In 17 career starts against the Fish he's 9-3 with a minuscule 1.97 ERA.

Miami sees Elieser Hernandez toe the rubber. He's 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA and he's yet to win more than 3 games in a season.

The Marlins are going to be without starting first basemen Garrett Cooper, who has a shoulder injury as well.

Look for Philadelphia to take advantage and lay the price.
