Arizona has a losing record on the road, while Philadelphia has a winning record at home. Arizona is in the middle of the pack on offense, and finishes up a 10-game road trip. They are even more tired than usual after a grueling 18-inning game last night! The Diamondbacks are 10-21 in their last 31 road games, and 8-20 on the road against a team with a winning home record. After a marathon game that spanned over seven hours, the Phillies' interim manager, Ryne Sandberg, will turn to the one pitcher who is completely rested: Roy Halladay. The two-time Cy Young Award winner takes the mound for the first time since May 5. The Phillies are 5-2 in their last seven home games and 5-2 at home against a team with a losing road record. The Phillies are 53-26 in Halladay's last 79 starts on grass, and he has enjoyed success versus Arizona, posting a 4-1 mark with two complete games and an impressive 0.90 WHIP. And the Diamondbacks are 3-12 in the last 15 meetings in Philadelphia, so grab the home dog. Play the Phillies.
