The Coach's MLB Heavy Hitter - (Bigtime Blowout Potential)
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. San Francisco, 07/11/2015 6:05 PM, Score: 5 - 8
Total: 7.00 | 115.00 Under
Result: Win
The Phillies were hammered in a 14-2 loss at AT&T Park last night, and that was with their ace Cole Hamels on the mound. It's not going to get any easier tonight with a win-less rookie getting the start. On a positive note, they might have more success against veteran Ryan Vogelsong than they had against Madison Bumgarner last night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - David Buchanan will be on the mound for Philly, still in search of his first win of 2015. Buchanan (0-5, 8.76 ERA) gave up seven runs on eight hits over 4.1 innings in a loss to St. Louis in his last start. The Giants counter with Ryan Vogelsong, and the veteran gave up five runs on seven hits in 6.2 innings against Philly earlier this year.

2. Batter vs. Pitcher - The Phillies have owned Vogelsong, hitting a combined .342 against the right-hander. Ryan Howard is 5-for-10 with three RBIs lifetime versus the veteran.

3. X-Factor - The over is 15-5-1 in the Phillies last 21 overall, and 6-0-1 in their last seven versus San Francisco.

Selection: This is a play on the Phillies@Giants to go OVER the total (10*)
