Dog of the Day: Phillies +170. Whose with me?

[Avenger]

Blanton and Hudson have about the same ERA for the other team.
Phillies' bats were looking good yesterday.
Best interest to have Braves lose and Cards win the wildcard.

For +170, this is what I call value.

Any other takers?

Not a chance, you know how they say 'even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day?'

Yeah at this point all the Braves have to do is swing through the strike zone and they are due for some hits and runs today. Combine that with their ace on the mound, season on the line... And the Phillies have a game to worry about in a few days, they will rest their starting position players partway through, in all likelyhood.

I'm Heavy on Braves ML today.

The over is a safer bet IMO. The Phils have their playoff lineup in their tonight minus Victorino. Mayberry Jr. is beast though

Braves aren't due for shit except to lose a short series even if they back in to the playoffs. I love the Braves but I could ONLY bet on them to lose, if not today maybe tomorrow. Bats are dead.

[hey buddy]

1) Phils had a losing record vs Cards so I don't think they want the Cards in the playoffs.
2) Phils are starting their regulars but will pull some, if not all of them at some point.
3) There's value there because they are going for a franchise record in wins but I wouldn't go huge on it.

Phillies WS here we come!
