The Phillies righty could close out the month in strong fashion with a pair of favorable matchups on tap. The Marlins and Braves rank 23rd and 30th, respectively, in the Majors in runs scored this season, and in four combined starts against these two clubs, Hellickson boasts a 2.49 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP.
