Philadelphia Phillies (74-53) vs Houston Astros (69-58)

This is a pretty tough spot for the Astros after the Sunday Night contest in Baltimore last night. Blanco is not in the best form and his expected numbers are rather steep now. The Phillies were struggling quite a bit vs. RHP but got going in Kauffman vs. KCR as we saw them get to Brady Singer and Seth Lugo most recently. I think the Phillies get after Blanco early and never look back. Wheeler has been special at Citizen's Bank Park and I think he can deliver another strong start here. Give me the Phillies on the RL as I think Philly is a steep favorite for good reason.
