Philadelphia is 5-0 in their last 5 games against the NL Central and 7-21 in their last 28 Tuesday games. The under is 7-0 in Philadelphia’s last 7 games. Cincinnati is 7-3 in their last 10 Tuesday games and 0-5 in their last 5 games against the NL East. The under is 6-0 in Cincinnati’s last 6 Tuesday games. Philadelphia is 7-20 in these two teams last 27 head to head meetings in Cincinnati.
Philadelphia comes into this game clinging to a wild card spot and needs to take advantage against a lesser ball club. Cincinnati has really struggled this season, specifically with their pitching. Cincinnati is starting T.J. Zeuch, who allowed six runs over 4 innings in his only appearance this year. For Philadelphia, Kyle Gibson has allowed five earned runs over his last 20 innings. I like Philadelphia to win this game by at least two runs and also like the Phillies team total over against Zeuch.
