Hellickson is coming into this start red-hot. Through his first five appearances this season, Hellickson has been nothing short of a bonafide All-Star candidate. The righty has a 0.80 WHIP, .191 batting average against, and 3.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He is coming off an impressive start against the Marlins where he went six innings and allowed just one run.
The Phils will have to face the veteran lefty Lester. He started the season off strong, giving up just one run in his first two starts and none in his third. However, he has given up five earned runs in each of his last two starts. In each of his starts, he has thrown 100 pitches or more.
