Predictions
Phillies Prediction: The Phillies look poised for a win with Nola on the mound, despite his rocky outing against Boston on June 13. He rebounded reasonably well against the Padres and seems set to capitalize on the Tigers' inconsistent offense. Having won three out of his last four starts against teams holding a losing record, Nola should help secure a victory for Philadelphia.
Tigers Prediction: Casey Mize has had a challenging season with a 1-5 record and a 4.43 ERA. While the Tigers showed resilience with their Sunday win over the White Sox, facing a pitcher like Nola may prove difficult. Expect Riley Greene to continue his hot streak, but it might not be enough to overcome the Phillies.

Player Milestones: Watch out for Riley Greene who has been consistently hitting against NL East opponents with a winning record. Greene has recorded at least one hit in each of his last nine appearances against such teams.
Game Context: As the fifth meeting between the Detroit Tigers and Phillies this season, both teams will look to establish dominance early. The Tigers will aim to leverage their home advantage at Comerica Park, where Greene and Matt Vierling have been particularly effective.
Continuing their NL East engagement, the Tigers need to address their pitching to stifle the Phillies' bats, which have been productive in recent games. Meanwhile, the Phillies will rely on Nola’s experience and recent form to start the series with a win. For detailed game notes, check out this link.
