The Philadelphia Phillies are on fire, scoring a whopping 31 runs while winnings three straight games. They wrap up this series versus the Yankees here in the Bronx this afternoon, and I like the Phillies to complete the sweep.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Phillies send ace Cole Hamels to the mound, in what might be his last start for the team. Hamels (5-5, 2.96 ERA) is rumored to be on the market, and there are no shortage of teams interested. He's coming off another gem, tossing seven shutout innings and striking out a dozen in a no decision at PNC Park. The Yankees counter with Ivan Nova, who was roughed up in the minors in his last start. He's making his 2015 debut after returning from an elbow injury.

2. Phillies Bats - Philly has totaled 22 runs while winning the first two games of this series, and rookie Maikel Franco is 6-for-8 with 10 RBIs in those contests.

3. X-Factor - The current Yankees lineup has more strikeouts (55) than hits (54) in previous meetings with Hamels.

Selection: This is a play on the Philadelphia Phillies +1.5 (8*)
