Philadelphia at Cincinnati

The Philadelphia Phillies continued their high level of play by taking the series opener vs Cincinnati. The Phillies are now 14-4 in their last 18 games. The pitching has been sensational as the Phillies staff has now allowed three or fewer runs in 13 of the 18 games. The Reds have had a few moments this season but at 45-69 on the season and a recent stretch of going 1-6 where they have allowed four or more runs in all seven games does not leave them with a lot of hope here. Philadelphia has gone as their pitching goes. The Phillies enter this game at 34-15 following a game where the bullpen allowed no runs. Another long day for the Reds. Make the play on Philadelphia.
