Baseball Odds: Marlins at Phillies
Jimmy Boyd breaks down the baseball odds for Friday’s game between the Marlins and the Phillies. Even though the Phillies have locked up the East, they are still jockying for playoff positioning so he thinks the value is there with his free MLB pick placing 1 Unit on Philadelphia Phillies -170. The Phillies still have a chance to earn home field advantage in the NL playoffs as they trail the struggling Dodgers by just 1 game for the best record in the NL. That means that Philly isn’t going to just sit back and relax, especially after a loss to Houston yesterday. The Phillies have the big edge on the mound tonight with Blanton and it also bodes well for them that Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez is not expected to be in the starting lineup tonight. Philly is 31-9 as a home favorite of -150 to -175 over the last 2 seasons and 15-4 with Blanton on the mound against a team with a winning record in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons. Take the defending World Series champs.
