Philadelphia is a long way from home and has 37-year old A.J. Burnett on the hill looking for his first win. He won't get it. His road numbers have been poor, allowing 18 hits and nine walks in 18 road innings. His ERA is almost two runs higher away from home. The Phillies are 18-39 in their last 57 games as an underdog, plus 10-26 as a road dog. Arizona is finally getting a few breaks after a horrible start and has quietly won three of four, winning twice as a dog. They were a dog yesterday and lost just 6-5. Starter Brandon McCarthy has pitched better than his ERA suggests, walking only eight in 30 innings with 22 strikeouts. He faced these Phillies once last season and shut them out on seven hits in eight innings. Play Arizona.
