3% (902) PHILADELPHIA -0.5 Runs 1st 5 Innings -145
Arizona is 7-2 their L9 games but 6 of those games were against Oakland who is the worst team in Baseball and Pittsburgh who after a great start is playing really bad right now. Tommy Henry goes for Arizona and he’s been no mystery as in his 5 starts he has an ERA of 5.00 and a WHIP of 1.48 his K/BB ratio is 13-12. Philadelphia counters with Zack Wheeler who in his L5 starts has allowed 16 runs (3.2 Runs a game) and has gone into the 6th inning or beyond in all of them. His K/BB ratio 38-6. Philadelphia has won 2 in a row after dropping the 1st game of the series to the Cubs which was also their 1st game back from a West Coast Road. I really expect Philadelphia to go on a Winning Streak at home. I am making this a 1st 5 Inning Wager as I am not a big fan of the Philadelphia bullpen but do feel we have a huge edge in the starting pitching. We also find the following:
KEY STAT: PHILADELPHIA is 74-45 against the money line after a win over the last 2 seasons and if the Win was by 2 runs or less they are 38-15
KEY STAT: PHILADELPHIA is 48-23 against the money line after 3 or more consecutive home games over the last 2 seasons.
