Phillies vs Diamondbacks Parlay, SGP Picks
Jesus Luzardo Over 17.5 Outs
Jesus Luzardo takes the mound for the Phillies on Friday.
He's been a solid addition to the team, sporting a 3-0 record.
I expect him to pitch at least six innings and see 18 outs on Friday against the Snakes.
He's covered this line in four of his past five starts behind solid command and an impressive arsenal. He's also been excellent at keeping runs off the board with a 1.73 ERA.
Phillies Moneyline
I also believe the Phillies will bounce back after Thursday's loss to the Nationals.
They’re in a good spot to respond against Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly.
Kelly's been struggling recently, with a 4.41 ERA across 32 2/3 innings.
I'm happy to back the Phillies behind Luzardo on Friday.
