I don't trust this Phillies team, plain and simple. They will hang around for the wild card but they are absolutely no threat to do anything more than hang around. Sorry if there are Phillies fans here. I am not a hater. Hell, I am a Cards fan so I have nothing to boast about from a rooting standpoint. Most will look at Arizona starter Zac Galllan and say why the hell is he favored here. The odds makers are not slow, we all know that. (hopefully), the fact is this young hurler labored in obscurity with the Marlins and in my view the Diamondbacks picked up a quality young arm here with a tremendous upside. I'll take him over the veteran journeyman Jason Vargas with no hesitation. Arizona smacked this overrated Phillies club around last night and I will gladly take them here again. Arizona is not dead in this wild card chase and the way things are shaping up there is still very much a pulse. I like the D Backs here, a lot. I am going triple here with them to take this series. Many sincere thanks as always and best of luck to each of us. Enjoy the game.
