Phillies at home with an underrated starter (Christopher Sanchez) against a Reds team who has a starter who isn’t great on the road. Nice price.
The Phils had trouble vs. Braves pitching on the weekend and needed a late rally on Sunday to avoid the season-opening sweep. Expect runs to come a bit easier vs. Cincy and tonight's starter Andrew Abbott, who was very erratic a year ago. Though the Reds will like their chances against Christopher Sanchez (4.80 from August onward last season) and the Phils bullpen that was roughed up by the Braves. Cincy scored 20 runs in the opening three-game set vs. the Nats, suggesting the offense is in gear. Play Reds-Phillies "Over"
The Phillies lost two of three games against the Braves in their first series of the season. They will look to get back on track against the Reds, and this series being played in Philadelphia is noteworthy because the Phillies were 49-32 at home last season. The Phillies will start Cristopher Sanchez, who had a breakout campaign with a 3.44 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP last season. The Reds will start Andrew Abbott, who had a 4.29 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP on the road last year. Look for the Phillies to even up their record with a win Monday.
