Statistically, starting pitchers Kyle Gibson and Yu Darvish are having very similar seasons. So far Gibson has the edge in ERA, but Darvish has a slightly better FIP of 3.78. However, between the two teams, Philadelphia’s batters have been much better against right-handed pitching. I recommend taking the Phillies on the moneyline.
