I like this game for several reasons. It's important to note that both pitchers, Lieber and Cook, are struggling in this early season. However, I beleive Lieber will pitch much better today as pressure mounts on him to perform as he is essentially the second ace on this staff behind Myers. The Rockies are 5-11 in their last 16 in Philadelphia and 3-8 recently against Philadelphia. Furthermore, the Rockies are 3-7 when Cook takes the mound against a team with a losing record. Compound this with the fact that the Phillies are 4-1 in their last 5 games versus a right hander and they are 22-8 in day games. The Phillies are hitting well of late and should score enough to win this one.
