7/09/25 | It Might Be Time to Sit John Kincade and Kevin Cooney Down for a Philadelphia Phillies Beer Summit. The Phillies lost 4-3 to the Giants Tuesday night on a walk-off, inside-the-park home run. It was a diabolical ending after a good outing from Taijuan Walker and four relief pitchers not named Jordan Romano. Naturally, there was consternation after the game with Rob Thomson's decision to go to Romano in the ninth inning. It's a 3-4 record for the Phils over their last seven games, who are tied with the Mets for first place in the NL East. Source: https://www.crossingbroad.com/news/phillies/it-mig... |
7/08/25 | Phillies Only +125 on the Money Line with Taijuan Walker Opposing Robbie Ray in San Francisco. It's a bit surprising to see the Phillies only at +125 on the money line for Tuesday's clash with the Giants. The pitching matchup of Taijuan Walker versus Robbie Ray suggests there should be even more of a price disparity. Ray's been pretty good for San Francisco this season with a 9-3 mark, a 2.68 ERA, and 117 strikeouts. If there's one reason for hope for the Phils, it's the fact that they're the only team to score more than three earned runs off Ray all season.
