It took a managerial change, but interim manager Don Mattingly has the Phillies in the right direction after Philadelphia opened 9-19 under Rob Thomson. Philadelphia is 8-2 since Mattingly replaced Thomson. One of the rejuvenated Phillies is today's starting pitcher Jesús Luzardo, who has allowed two runs and struck out 18 in his past two starts spanning 13.1 innings. Colorado starter Chase Dollander was pitching well until his last start, when he gave up six earned runs on eight hits and three walks to the Braves in a 9-1 loss six days ago. Colorado is 1-6 in its last seven road games. Each of the Rockies' last eight losses has been by more than one run. The Rockies are 7-12 on the road this season. They are 1-13 in their last 14 games at Citizens Bank Park. Kyle Schwarber has hit at least one home run in three of the Phillies’ last four home games against the Rockies. Schwarber is second in the National League in home runs with 12. Play the Phillies on the runline.
