Take the Phillies
The Phillies have put together a couple of nice wins and they will make it 3 wins in a row after they beat the Cardinals on Saturday. Kyle Gibson takes the mound for the Phillies. Gibson was roughed up a bit his last start by the Padres but prior to that game he put together 3 quality starts. The Phillies bullpen has been pitching remarkably better since the start of the season and the Phillies hitting has found ways to make up for Harper's absence the last few games. The Cardinals will send Liberatore to the mound to make just his fifth start of the season. While he has respectable numbers, he hasn't lasted longer than 5 IP in any of his previous starts. The Phillies get more timely hits in this one and bring home a win.
