Miami at Philadelphia

In baseball, situations play a key role and today's situation provides a good spot for the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies send out their ace Brett Myers today in a much needed win as they are just 6-10 on the season and play the lowly Marlins. Myers was the Phillies bright spot last year going 13-8 with a 3.82 era and this year is 1-0 with just above a 3 era including a shutout of the hot rockies in a rare 1-0 ball game at Coors Field where the Rockies (and any other team for that matter) have been putting up runs in a hurry. Now, the Phillies call on Myers again and he has pitched well against the Marlins giving up just 7 runs in 23 innings - including 2 shutouts. The Marlins are just 1-6 versus right-handed starters of late on the road. Philly, despite their 6-10 record are 3-0 at home when favored by -200 or more, 6-0 in Myers' last 6 day starts, and when Dale Scott (the home plate umpire for today's game) is behind the plate, the home team is 5-0. Let's ride the Phillies and Myers at home.
