"The kid came through." - Phillies
Bettors have a great matchup today with Spencer Strider pitching for the Braves and Aaron Nola for the Phillies.
Strider was lit up by the Nationals his last time out, giving up five runs in four innings. That outing ended his four-game streak of allowing one run or less. Regardless, he still holds a 3.03 ERA and is a front runner for National League Rookie of the Year.
Nola has been rock solid for Philly all year long. His last start was against Miami, Nola threw 8 1/3 shutout innings, and it was not the first time he's thrown eight shutout innings this season. However, the complete game shutout still alludes him this year.
