Cliff Lee always gets alot of attention from the oddsmakers but truly, a hot Arizona team on top of the NL West is being shunned here in a big way. The fact is, the Phillies have a worse winning percentage with Lee on the mound than they have overall on the season! The Diamondbacks have won six straight games on the season, including a big win over the Phillies top pitcher on the season last night, Roy Halladay. That win gave Arizona seven straight vs. the tough and rugged NL East. They have also played their best baseball against elite pitching at 20-7 in their last 27 facing a pitcher with a WHIP of less than 1.15. This one is way too high and I am behind Arizona.
