Thursday MLB Betting on MLB Network - Florida Marlins and Phillies

Friday, June 25, 2010

The NL East is presented in Thursday MLB wagering when the Philadelphia Phillies host the Marlins in a match which can be seen on the MLB Network.

It is the finale of a three-game series in baseball wagering and it's the final match of a 7-game homestand for the Phillies.

Mostly considering they're at home, MLB wagering probabilities like the Phillies in this match. The pitching matchup may end up preferring Florida. Anibal Sancehz is scheduled to be on Thursday for Florida. He is 5-3 for the season with a 3.18 ERA. Until his previous start against the Mets when he allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings, Sanchez was rolling along. He had won his four previous starts.

The Marlins have held their own recently against the Phillies in MLB wagering. They had won 11 of the previous 20 against Philadelphia before this series started. They claimed two of three at Philadelphia earlier this season. The Phillies are one of those teams in baseball which could play just as nicely on the road as at home so they can be overvalued at home. The previous five meetings between the two teams had gone under the total before this series started.

It can be difficult to forecast what the Marlins are going to do on a nightly basis. They were up and down this year. They do play much better at home than on the road but it isn't a major difference. The Marlins are only average in hitting and in ERA. They are able to be excellent however with players like Hanley Ramirez striking the ball and Josh Johnson pitching. Even Sanchez has shown the capability to be quite great.

Philadelphia has been much better at home this year than for the road, but not by much. The Phillies have inexplicably struggled to gain runs. Jimmy Rollins has been from the lineup for most of the season and his absence has damaged the Phillies, however they otherwise have a powerful lineup. The Phillies have gotten good pitching as they're in the top five in the league. Jamie Moyer has been strong generally speaking this year, and it might be him gaining the start in this match.

The Phillies' Roy Halladay pitched a perfect match two weeks once more against the Marlins, throwing the 20th perfect match in the majors. Halladay already has a Cy Young Award and six All-Star match choices to his credit. He threw just the eighth perfect game in the National League's history, and just the second for the Philadelphia Phillies. He struck out 11 of the Marlins' players and outshined the Marlins' pitcher, Josh Johnson, in the process. It directed Johnson to say later that it was unreal how Halladay does his thing. "No messing around, no joking around. He's there for one reason." That match went 1-0 for the Phillies.

Wednesday night's match was delayed as a result of rain and will be compensated for on Monday, September 6, when the Phillies and the Marlins play a double header.
