1:35PM: PHI/PIT Over 9 (2 Units).

PHI SP Tyler Phillips has pitched well in his first couple big league appearances. He allowed 4ER over 6IP to OAK his last time out and 1 run over 4IP to ATL in relief in his debut. He has a career 5.19 ERA in 28 AAA appearances and a 4.89 ERA down there this year. He had a 4.06 ERA in June before getting called up in July. He's not an elite pitcher and he's making his 2nd big league start. The Pirates will be able to prepare now that he's got some big-league tape. Pittsburgh's also scored 4 or more in 10 of their 15 July Games and are averaging 5.4 runs per game over that span. They've scored 7 and 4 runs in the first 2 games of this series.

PIT SP Marco Gonzales makes his 2nd start after a long IL trip that started April 15th. Philly was the last team he faced before going on the IL and 8 of the 9 Philly batters in the lineup that day are in today's and most of them have very strong numbers against him and LHP. He let up just 1 run over 5 IP in his debut but it was against the White Sox, and he still gave up 7 hits. He allowed 4 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks over 4.1IP in his final rehab start. He allowed 2 runs over 3IP in his only other rehab assignment.
