I'm on The Phillies @ home vs the Cardinals for these reasons:

- Taijuan Walker is on the mound for Philly, he's 3-1 this season and has averaged 1.28 strikeouts per inning. Cardinals are not as good of a batting team (middle of the pack) and he should fair well at home here to go 2-0 in home starts. He hasn't pitched much this season and should play the majority of this games innings.

- Lance Lynn is on the mound for the Cardinals and he's 2-3 this season, averaging 1.07 strikeouts per inning. Phillies are #1 in runs and are hard to strikeout.

- Phillies have only lost 1 of their last 10 home games.

Official Play: Phillies Moneyline

Side Bet: Under 9 runs

Hail Mary: Lance Lynn over 5.5 hits
