Philadelphia at Houston

What's going on at Minute Maid? The worst team in the Majors is on the brink of getting a sweep against the best. The Phillies lead the leage with 94 wins while Houston is in the basement with 51. Yet, the Stros too care of Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels. Can they also defeat Roy Halladay? I'm saying no way. With a win here, the Phillies maintain their record of not getting swept this year, and they clinch a playoff birth. Lightning has struck twice in a row for Houston but I don't expect a third straight strike. Everything has gone right for the Astros including no errors the past two games. That just can't hold up. Halladay is 17-5 this season and owns a 1.73 ERA his last four starts. Despite the back-to-back wins, Houston is just 28-45 this season at home. In day games they are 12-32, averaging just 3.5 runs per game. Following a loss this season, the Phillies are 37-13. Meanwhile, Houston is just 32-71 this season vs. RHP. Take the Phillies on the runline here.

2 units on Philadelphia -1.5 runs -145 (runline) (risk 2 to return 2)
