In this week’s electrifying installment of Sunday Night Baseball, the stage is set at Citizens Bank Park, where the St. Louis Cardinals are gearing up to face off against the Philadelphia Phillies for the sixth time this season. With the Phillies currently leading the season series 4-1, the anticipation is sky-high. Philly is on the brink of completing a home sweep against the Cardinals, having dominated the first two games of this series.
But the burning question remains: Can the Phillies secure a triumphant victory at home, or will the Cardinals pull off a stunning upset on national television?
Key Takeaways:
According to BetOnline, the Phillies are not just on a winning streak; they're on fire. With a home record of 24-8 and leading the league in runs scored, they're currently riding the wave of an 8-game home winning streak. A victory tonight against the Cardinals would not only secure a third consecutive sweep at home but also extend their home winning streak to 9 games, further solidifying their lead in the NL East.
But let's not count the Cardinals out just yet. Lance Lynn has shown he’s capable of magic against the Phillies, especially with his last performance. However, his road starts this season have been less than stellar, with home runs allowed in 4 out of 6 road games and earned runs in 5 out of 6. Facing the Phillies' hot bats on the road could be a tall order for Lynn.
Tonight, our money is on the Phillies, especially on the run line. The Phillies' batting lineup is not just hot; it's scorching, making them arguably the most complete team in baseball right now. Despite Lynn's efforts, the Phillies' offense is simply too powerful, and coupled with Lynn's tendency to walk batters, it seems like the perfect storm for a Phillies win.
