With the Phillies going on the road it typically spells disaster. However, the Phillies are playing a very weak Red Sox team in this game compared to what they usually are playing at level wise. What else will help the Phillies out is the fact that the team has a great starter in this game who has been able to win quite a few games for the team so far this season. The Red Sox for all that they have done on the season have actually won more games on the road than home this year and that is definitely something that is a little bit shocking.
Bryce Harper is the hitter for the Phillies when it comes to power. Harper has hit 26 homers with 90 runners brought home.

The Red Sox are not the best home team and Johnson is a pitcher who gets rocked quite a bit. Nola has managed to play really well for the Phillies and even without getting a ton of offensive support he has been able to win games rather easily. Look for Nola to be able to dominate the Red Sox offense and that will definitely help the Phillies here. Final Score, Philadelphia Phillies win 6-3.
