Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Philadelphia: Aaron Nola (8-7, 3.16 ERA)<br />
Colorado: Jeff Hoffman (6-3, 5.38 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Aaron Nola gets the call in this series finale and in his last start he went six innings and gave up two earned runs, but did not get much help from the lineup in a 7-1 loss to the L.A. Angels. Philadelphia won his previous two starts where he only gave up one earned run in 13 innings of work. In Nola’s last two starts on the road he has given up two earned runs in each game. This game will be Nola’s first start of the season against the Rockies. In his last eight starts he has not allowed more than two earned runs and in that span he is 5-2 with a solid ERA of 1.66 and has 63 strikeouts in 54 innings of work.

<p>
Jeff Hoffman goes for the Rockies today in his last outing he went six innings and gave up two earned runs in a 5-4 win over the New York Mets. That start was much better than his previous two where he only lasted seven innings and was shelled giving up 13 earned runs. Hoffman faced Philadelphia very early in the season and was solid giving up one run on only three hits in a 8-1 Rockies win and that was his only career start against the Phillies. This season righties are hitting .302 off Hoffman while lefties are only bating .229. Previous to his last start the Rockies had lost their last two home games with Hoffman getting the start where he went 10 innings and gave up 11earned runs.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
The Phillies have the fewest wins in the Majors and after winning five in a row they have dropped their last five games. They need a win today to avoid being swept in the 2nd straight series. Philadelphia has been outscored 31-13 in losing five in a row. Not only do the Phillies have the fewest wins in baseball, but also the fewest road wins. Colorado is surging winning four of their last five games including their last three. While they are 14.5 games out of first place in the NL West they are in the lead in the Wild Card ½ game up on the Arizona Diamondbacks and five games up on the Milwaukee Brewers. Colorado has scored 17 runs in their three-game win streak. One of the few bright spots for the Phillies this season has been Nola, who has been pitching great in his last several starts. Look for him to have another good start while Hoffman will struggle. Nola will lead the Phillies to a rare road win and they will avoid the series sweep.
