The Philadelphia Phillies take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 2 of their cross-state rivalry. Aaron Nola gets the nod for the Phillies and the Pirates will look to even the series with Quinn Priester taking the mound. Nola will look to ride the momentum of yesterday's 2-1 win. Nola is 9-6 with a 4.25 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. The Pirates got off to a fast start to the season but have been foundering since. They are just 4-8 since the break. Quinn Priester will look to even the series for the Pirates. He is 1-1 with a 9.28 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. The Phillies have an advantage on the mound and even though they are 17th in runs scored they are far better than the Pirated who are 27th. Take the Phillies in this one.

Play on Philadelphia.
