Philadelphia at Detroit 7:10 ET
Phillies over Tigers- This game (the line) appears a bit off as the Tigers continue to play good ball at home where they have won 5-of-6 on their current home stand and 6-of-7 overall and yet the Phillies who had the worst record in baseball last season. What Philadelphia does have is Vince Velasquez (5-1, 2.42 ERA) as he has surrendered three or fewer runs in six of his eight starts with 59 strikeouts in 48 innings. He has 30 strikeouts in his last 29 innings while allowing just one home run. Detroit will start ex-Met Mike Pelfrey (0-4, 5.49) who is 7-7 lifetime against the Phillies. He has given up six homers in his last five starts. Take PHILADELPHIA!
