The Phillies are a team that need to get their team motivation back and start to win. However, the Phillies may be hard pressed in this game to get that motivation back. The road has not been the best place for the Phillies to play this season as the Phillies are 5 games under the five hundred mark on the road this year. The Reds, though, are coming into the game 6 games over the five hundred mark and that will help give the Reds some extra chances to win this game, but also the fact that the Reds still have a chance to finish over the five hundred mark helps out as well.
