Diamondbacks vs. Phillies (June 10): Can the Phillies Win Their 8th in a Row?

The Phillies enter Friday night with a 7 game win streak. Their most recent series was a sweep of the NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers.

The Diamondbacks enter this new series after splitting a 4 game set with the Cincinnati Reds. This will be the final series for the Diamondbacks’ 10 game road trip, as they will travel back home after the game on Sunday.

This will be the first meeting of the season for the two teams, as both have players with significant hot streaks going. The Phillies have Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, who have 5 home runs in their last 10 games. The Diamondbacks rely on Ketel Marte, who recorded 6 hits in Cincinnati, including 2 doubles and a home run.

With an impressive streak intact, the Phillies are favored on Friday night according to BetUS and Bovada Sportsbook. They aim for number 8 against another team with a record south of .500.

The New Phillies

Since the beginning of the month, the Phillies have looked like a brand new team. They fired their manager, Joe Girardi, after losing 5 straight to end the month of May and beginning the season 22-29. Since the firing, the team is 6-0 and have swept back-to-back series.

During the win streak, the Phillies have outscored opponents 53-19 with a combined pitching ERA of 2.71. They have recorded two shutouts in this span, and the offense has found another gear, scoring 6 or more runs in six of the seven games.

Individual players are shining new light for Philadelphia. One of those players who has had the biggest impact is Bryce Harper. He has been on base safely in every game during the win streak. He also has 9 hits in that time, 5 of which left the yard. He is an offensive monster right now, knocking in 13 runs in the last 6 games.

Kyle Schwarber is also on a hot streak for the Phillies. He has reached base in 13 straight games, and he is batting over .300 in his last 10. He has 5 home runs and 9 RBIs in his last 9 games.

If the Phillies are going to keep winning, they will need to put together another solid performance tonight against Zac Gallen. Gallen is 4-1 this season with a 2.40 ERA. His weakness has been the long ball, as he has given up 4 home runs over his last 5 starts.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction and Best Bets

Diamondbacks vs. Phillies Prediction: Phillies to win

Diamondbacks vs. Phillies Best Bets: Phillies on the moneyline (-139 at BetUS)

The Phillies are hot at the plate, and lots of baseballs are leaving the yard. They face a pitcher tonight who has a tendency of giving up home runs. This is a recipe for success if the Phillies choose to attack that way.

Changing managers may have been the best move after all, as Philadelphia is perfect without Joe Girardi at the helm. They get to travel back home to show off their newly designed team mechanics in front of the Philly Faithful.

Due to the fact that Zac Gallen is not giving up many runs, I expect a closer game between the two. However, expect the Phillies to be competitive till the end as they search for yet another win in this impressive streak.
