The Phillies went from being a team that was favored to win quite a few games and have a chance to win the division, to one that is struggling to find a win now on the road. The Phillies, though, have had a good overall record on the season and are 6 games over the five hundred mark. The good news is the struggling Phillies road team is facing an equally struggling Diamondbacks home team. One thing the Diamondbacks do have going for them, though, is a record that is winning against the Phillies on the season.

The Diamondbacks are playing at home in this game and that does not really help them much, but the fact that the Phillies have struggled on the road will help them out in this game. Look for that to make the difference in this game as the Phillies road struggles coupled with the horrible pitching of Velasquez on the year to cost the Phillies the game. Final Score, Arizona Diamondbacks win 7-5.
