Phillies over Rockies- Okay. Let's bite our lower lip as 'we' play this game because they are conflicting trends that we must weed through. To start with Colorado has won three straight and is 4-1 on their current homestand while the Phillies are in the mist of a five-game losing streak. Looking st the starting pitchers give us two hurlers moving in opposite directions. Right-hander Aaron Nola (8-7, 3.16 ERA) has by far been the Phillies best this season allowing two or fewer runs in eight straight starts going 5-2 with a 1.66 ERA in that span holding opposing batter to a .205 average. On the other side of the coin for the 'hot' Rockies Jeff Hoffman (6-3, 5.38) and has struggled mightily of late. Take PHILADELPHIA!
