Arizona lost by a score of 7-4 at Philadelphia Tuesday night to drop to 35-33 overall and 21-17 on the road. Ketel Marte had a big night in the loss as he was 3-for-5 with a solo home run.

MLB Betting Trends
Arizona
The D-Backs are 4-1 in their last five road games. Arizona is 6-2 in its last eight Wednesday games.
Philadelphia
The Phillies are 8-3 in their last 11 home games. Philadelphia is 6-1 in the last seven Eflin home starts.
Predicition:
Philadelphia bounced back nicely from a loss in the series opener to control the action last night en route to a win. Both pitchers in today’s game have been pitching well lately, but I do trust Eflin at home more. Kelly is what he is and after two straight fantastic starts, I think he crashes down to earth somewhat today. Go with the favorites.
