Don’t look now, but the Phillies are on a four-game win streak. The problem is, Nola has been a mess in his recent starts. He has pitched just 9.1 innings with a 3.32 WHIP and 17.36 ERA over his last three starts. Duffy has been struggling as of late as well, posting an ERA over 4.00 in his last three outings. With the total sitting at just 8 runs and Nola likely to get chased quickly, take a chance with the over.
