Chip's NL 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks (Pirates/Phillies)
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: -111.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Win
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia 7:05 ET
Phillies over Pirates- These two Pennsylvania teams clash in Philadelphia and neither can be considered a playoff club as both their offense fall short. The Phillies are last (by a far margin) in scoring runs in the 'Bigs' and the Pirates are right behind them and is last in the NL Central scoring runs. Pittsburgh showed signs of life a week ago but have sputtered since getting swept this weekend by the Giants while the Phillies have won three of their last five. The pitching match-up is just about a toss-up as Ivan Nova (8-5, 3.08 ERA) gets the nod for Pittsburgh and Aaron Nola (5-5, 4.13) for Philadelphia. This time it's PHILADLEPHIA!
