In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 10 Ks on 4 hits through 8.1 IP against the Miami Marlins. 

The current betting odds have the Phillies listed as an underdog in this game. The Phillies have not been playing well recently as they were just swept by the Cubs in their last series, and the Cubs have not been very good recently. The Phillies will be looking to bounce back here though as they were swept at home in their last series and are still at home here. This is also a very important series for them as they have some ground to make up sitting behind the Braves in the standings. The Phillies have Nola starting here and he should give them a good opportunity to win as he has been great all season and very consistent in his starts. The Phillies allowed a lot of runs in their last series but he should patch up some of those problems here and here pitch deep into the game as well. The Braves have Strider starting here and he has also been very good all season, striking out a lot of guys in his starts, but he allowed 5 runs in his last start not lasting very long in the game either, and he is starting to show his cracks now. He will continue to unravel here as he is still just a rookie and this is a good spot for the Phillies to bounce back as they were hot going into the break. The best way to place a bet here is on the Phillies to win this game.
