PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -115 - This has been a real visitor?s series, as the ROAD team has won the last 8 head-to-head meetings and 10 of the last 11 matchups! Wolf is off to a great start for the Phillies, sitting at 5-2 with a 3.24 ERA and an excellent 1.11 ratio. Philadelphia as a team is 7-2 in all of Wolf?s starts, so he almost always pitches well enough to win. Also, the Phils are a respectable 13-10 on the road this year, so playing in New York should be no problem. Leiter has not been his usual stellar self this season. Sure he has managed to go 4-2, but he has an uncharacteristically high 4.64 ERA and a terrible ratio of 1.51. He has had trouble with his control, walking a distressing 25 batters in 54.1 innings. As if that isn?t bad enough, he is coming off of possibly the worst start of his career, as he was rocked for 10 earned runs and 13 hits in just 4.2 innings vs. the Giants.
