The Phillies have won four of their last six games and three of their last five home games. They are playing well offensively and scored 18 runs in the first two games of this series. They hit the ball well against right-handers and they're facing a pitcher that is 0-2 in five starts against them and gave up five runs in his first road start, so expect them to play well offensively once again. The Rockies have lost four of their last six games. Even though they have a
good offense, they struggled through the first two games of this series, scoring only five runs. Even though Wheeler lost three straight starts, he has pitched well at home, giving up five runs in two home starts. He held the Rockies to one run in his lone start against them last season and will be up to the task of keeping their offense in check once gain, so go with the Phillies to get the win.
The Rockies are averaging 4.47 runs per game and 3.43 runs per game on the road. They averaged 3.67 runs per game in their last three games against the Phillies. Even though Philadelphia is giving up 3.55 runs per game at home, they gave up six runs per game in Wheeler's three starts, so expect the Rockies to go over their average in this game. The Phillies are averaging 4.56 runs per game and 4.55 runs per game at home. They averaged nine runs per game in their last three games against the Rockies. With Colorado giving up 5.71 runs per game on the road, the Phillies will score enough runs to push the score over the total. The Phillies and Rockies played over the total in their last three meetings.
