Earliest Cash - Rickenbach MLB Rotation #901 Friday 8* Philadelphia Phillies Money Line -124 @ Pittsburgh Pirates @ 7:05 ET - ACTION on pitchers. No matter who pitches here I like the Phillies. The fact that Velasquez, Phillies most inconsistent pitcher, is scheduled to start is merely serving to give us line value here. Philadelphia will ride the momentum of yesterday's double-header Game 2 win when they rallied from an early 7-0 deficit and then won in extra innings on a walk-off grand slam. The Phillies have now won 6 of last 10 in NL action. As for the Pirates, they got crushed again by the Brewers yesterday and have now lost 8 of 10 games including 4 straight by a combined score of 34 to 4. Pittsburgh is struggling badly and Crowe has a 5.82 ERA this season and an 0-4 record at home. Again, no matter who starts in this game I am expecting a road rout. 8* PHILADELPHIA
