Arizona at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Phillies used to have the best rotation in baseball, but injuries and age has caught up to them the past few seasons. They still have holdover Cliff Lee, who is back in the rotation. He will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks today, a team the Phillies have mastered for quite some time as they have not lost a series to Arizona since April of 2011. The surface appears to put this pitching matchup at about even, but Lee has pitched better vs. Arizona, and the Phillies dominating the D-Backs play large into this one. Arizona hasn't fared well on the road in an expected pitcher's duel as they are a dismal 24-49 in their last 73 on the road to a total of 7-8.5. The Phillies are riding a 16-5 mark at home behind Lee when he gets the ball vs. a losing team. Make the play on Philadelphia.
