He is expected to be limited to 60-65 pitches in this start. That will mean the bullpen will be a factor for the Phillies in this game and a betting factor to consider. The Cardinals could go with Kip Wells on Tuesday. He has not pitched well this season but he is 5-1 in his career against Philadelphia with a 2.16 ERA in seven starts. Bet on MLB Baseball at
