Charlie Morton is no stranger to the Phillies’ lineup. Before leaving for the Orioles in the offseason and now making his Tigers debut, Morton spent 4 years in Atlanta — where he was more than serviceable. The 41-year-old faced off against the Philles numerous times, registering at least 20 at-bats versus five of the starters he’ll face off against tonight — pending lineups. We’re targeting Harper — not only because of his success versus Morton in the past, but his resurgence at the plate (especially at home, where he is hitting .309 on the year). A slight slump is concerning, hitting just .123 versus RHP over the last 30 days, but this is an excellent spot for Harper to lift the Phillies to a series win.
Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 (+113)
Cristopher Sánchez at home is a problem for opposing teams. Before his last outing, where he uncharacteristically allowed 4 earned runs to the White Sox on the road, Sanchez was mowing down teams and creeping up the NL CY Young leaderboard. Luckily for him, Paul Skenes and Zack Wheeler had unsatisfactory outings yesterday, so Sanchez can pounce with a quality start tonight at home — where his ERA is down to 2.65. With Sanchez on the mound plus an offense that is hitting .268 at home this season (second best in baseball), let’s take the Phillies on the -1.5 run line.
