New York at Philadelphia

Philadelphia was picked to finish last by most experts, but the Phillies have shown much improvement so far from last season with a 6-7 record. They're coming off a 3-2, 10-inning win over Washington yesterday. Jerad Eickhoff takes the mound on Monday after pitching seven shutout innings against San Diego in his last start, while striking out nine with no walks. Eickhoff has picked up where he left off in 2015 when he ended the season with a 3-1 record in his last four starts. New York hitters who have faced Eickhoff are batting just .207 against the right-hander. Noah Syndergaard is coming off two good performances, but he is overvalued in this road contest against Eickhoff. Play the Phillies.
