Result:
WIN

The Phillies aren't hitting. They are clearly missing slugger Ryan Howard in the middle of this aging lineup, as they scored just one run in each of the first two games! They are hitting .221 as a team and ranked No. 28 in slugging. The Phillies are 0-4 in their last four games against a right-handed starter and 5-12 in their last 17 games as a favorite. They had to go with their best bullpen arms in middle relief yesterday, losing in 10 innings. Starter Vance Worley ended spring training on a down note, giving up 11 runs on 11 hits over four innings. After facing Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee, the Pittsburgh offense will find Worley easier to hit. The Pirates are 4-1 in their last five games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, and the Phillies are 3-7 in the last 10 meetings in Pittsburgh. Play the Pirates.
