This is an 8* play on the Philadelphia Phillies.

We think that Vince Velasquez will find a way to out duel his counterpart in this interleague contest. The Yanks hand the ball to Jonathan Loaisiga (1-0, 3.12 ERA) who gave up three runs off six hits with two walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings in a no decision against Seattle on Wednesday. The 23-year old would need 84 pitches to get through his short time on the mound and we think he'll struggle again in this tough environment. Velasquez (5-7, 4.82) gave up four runs off four hits over 6.1 innings, giving up three walks and striking out eight in a loss. While his ERA isn't anything to write home about, Velasquez does own a sharp 1.28 WHOP and 97:29 K:BB over 80.1 innings. We like Velasquez to go deeper than Loaisiga and we think the PHILLIES will find a way to deliver the goods at the end of the night.
