Phillies team total under 4.5 runs (-100) at betus
(+125) at the greek.com
Gallardo has pitched very well this season but was out 5 months with a knee injury. He has a fresh, well rested arm and last pitched on Sept 25 against the pirates (4 innings, 1 run, 7 strikeouts). He is a strike out pitcher and the phillies are free swingers. Gallardo does give up homeruns on an occasion. He pitched 6.2 innings, allowing 4 hits, 1 run (hr), 7 strikeouts, 1 walk against the phillies in 2007. In that game, the only run that the phillies scored was a HR by Pat Burrell. Having 2 days off may be a disadvantage for a potent offense like the phillies.
Pat Burrell status is uncertain for tommorrow's game. He has discomfort in his lower back. Burrell hit 33 homers and drove in 86 runs. With or without Burrell, the phillies are going to have a difficult time scoring runs against Gallardo. Any opinions on this team total.
Phillies/brewers under 4.5 runs (5 innings) -110
Both starters have very good numbers especially in the first five innings of their starts. Batters are just hitting .218 against Gallardo in the first 4 innings. Right handed batters are only hitting .215 against left handed Hamels. This game is going to start as a pitcher's duel.
