FiveStarPick looks to give its members another winning MLB Pick as we cover the spread in tonight’s National League showdown between the Colorado Rockies and the Philadelphia Phillies.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Phillies as -140 Money Line favorites with a total of 10.

The last time these two teams met was back in early April and the Phillies and Rockies were in different stages of their season.  Philadelphia was getting over the hangover that comes with being World Series Champions, while Colorado was trying to get out of their own way under former manager Clint Hurdle. Things have changed dramatically since then, with the Phillies cruising in the NL East, and the Rockies atop the NL Wild Card race by a ½ game over the Giants.

Philadelphia dropped three of four at San Francisco over the weekend, but the Phils will send out veteran southpaw Jaime Moyer (10-7, 5.32 ERA) to try and right the ship.  Moyer is coming off a victory in his last start at Arizona and to add to the case for Philadelphia tonight, they are a robust 6-1 in Moyer’s last seven trips to the hill.  In addition, the Phillies are averaging just over six runs a game in this seven game stretch. 

Jason Hammel (5-6, 4.66 ERA) has been an excellent on the road this season, especially for bettors playing the ‘under’.  Hammel has hit the ‘under’ in six of seven away starts.  Much of that is due to the Rockies providing Hammel with less than 2.5 runs/game in those outings. Despite allowing five earned runs in only 1.1 innings against the Mets his last time out, Hammel’s road ERA is a solid 2.67, while compiling quality outings in seven of nine away starts.
