Phillies Game Today: Phillies vs Diamondbacks Lineup, Odds, Prediction, Pick, Pitcher, TV Channel for August 17

After sweeping the Nationals and Mets in back-to-back series, the Phillies have lost back-to-back series to the Dodgers and Reds, though they have not allowed themselves to be swept. They remain over .500, with a 61-57 record.

The good news is that they have one of the easiest schedules for the remaining weeks of the regular season, starting with the 38-81 Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

In fact, seven of the Phillies’ next 12 games are against the Dbacks, providing them a golden opportunity to pad their win record.

Phillies Pitcher Today: Kyle Gibson

Newcomer Kyle Gibson is on the bump for the Phillies tonight. He has a 3.12 ERA, and is coming off getting knocked around by the Dodgers, which I predicted before his last start.

He’s only pitched against the DBacks twice in his career, with a 0.75 ERA over 12 innings. He struck out 12 and allowed one earned run and three walks to 49 batters faced.

Gibson’s rival tonight is Taylor Widener, who has a 4.89 ERA over 10 starts this season. He made his debut in July 2020, but has never faced the Phillies.

Phillies vs Diamondbacks Prediction Today

The Phillies should be able to dispatch the DBacks easily, but that’s what makes me nervous; nothing comes easy to this team. I think the Phils will win, but they’ll let it get close.
