Philadelphia at New York

Philadelphia looks to regroup after getting swept in Texas. This team was in the World Series last October with an offense that was seventh in baseball in runs scored and sixth in slugging. Starter Taijuan Walker is in the role of stopper after a season where he went 12-5 with a 3.49 ERA. He faced the Yankees twice last season with the Mets and threw very well, winning 6-3 along with a 4-2 defeat, throwing 11 innings and allowing 5 runs and 11 hits. Walker's teams are 44-29 when he starts in the first half of the season. New York is 31-35 after two games where the bullpen threw 9 total innings or more. And MLB home teams that averaged 1.25+ homers in the previous season are 22-43 in inter-league games. Look for the defending NL Champs to win the game or lose by one run. Play Philadelphia on the Run-Line.
