Philadelphia Phillies vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m on the Phillies here. I know it’s Sanchez’s first career start at Coors Field, but Ty Blach for me is not a viable option in an MLB starting rotation and the Phillies are tearing the cover off of the ball right now, regardless of who is on the other side. Colorado just found creative ways to lose their series against Oakland with a pair of blown leads, and I don’t think the Phillies will even afford Oakland that opportunity here. I think this one is all Philadelphia so give me the Phillies here.
