Baseball Sportsbook Lines: Phillies vs. Diamondbacks Picks and Odds


Betting on MLB Games

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Friday through Sunday!




After years as a perennial playoff contender in the National League
the Philadelphia Phillies crashed and burned last year with some of the
biggest losses on the betting board with far too much public betting
support based on their past success. The Arizona Diamondbacks were also
in the red last year and were an utter disaster on the run line as one
of the worst bets on the board, though the Phillies were even worse on
the run line as only the San Francisco Giants lost more money in that
wagering sector. The Phillies are trying to jumpstart their franchise
with new manager Ryne Sandberg while the D Backs have a great leader in
Kirk Gibson, who gets everything and more out of whatever he has. The
Arizona Diamondbacks will host the Philadelphia Phillies at Chase Field
in a 3 game weekend series that will run Friday through Sunday. Friday
night’s game is scheduled for a 9:40 PM ET with Saturday’s game set for
an 8:10 PM ET start. Sunday afternoon has a starting time of 4:10 PM ET.


D Backs Lack Green Backs

It was a horrible start for the Arizona Diamondbacks as they ranked
dead last in Major League Baseball for earned run average and 23rd for
run production as they lost 15 out of their first 20 games with the MLB odds.
It was not much better for the Philadelphia Phillies as they lost 10
out of their first 17 games and ranked 24th for run production while
ranking 26th for earned run average. Both Arizona and Philadelphia were
last place teams.


The Pick!

Heading into this series the Philadelphia Phillies have won 12 out of
their last 20 games against the Arizona Diamondbacks with just 9 out of
the last 20 games between the Phillies and Diamondbacks going over the
total. The Phillies and Diamondbacks have split their last 20 games at
Chase Field with just 9 out of the last 20 meetings between the
Diamondbacks and Phillies at Arizona going over the total. We’ll call
for the underdog in each game of this series and under the total for
each game.

NBA Odds: Dysfunctional Knicks Still Alive, Face Test Down the Stretch


Betting on New York Knicks Basketball


The New York Knicks are on the outside looking in at the Eastern
Conference playoff picture but still have time to get their foot in the
door as the regular season comes to a close. With just 150/1 odds of
winning, they’re far from a reassuring NBA betting choice, but there’s
no reason to believe that they can’t edge out the short-staffed Atlanta
Hawks for the eighth and final seed.

Led by the same disjointed roster that’s led them over the course of
the past few seasons, this year’s Knicks will hope for a miracle in the
event that they manage to sneak into the postseason. That, however, is
no knock on Carmelo Anthony.


Averaging 27.5 points per game, Melo has re-established himself as a
franchise player that fans (and bettors) can rely on. It’s that
surrounding cast that causes concern.


JR Smith trails Anthony for the team lead in scoring, but his is an
inconsistent presence that basketball fans would be wise to be nervous
about down the stretch. Smith’s unpredictability, coupled with Amar’e
Stoudemire’s injury history and Andrea Bargnani’s own shortcomings make
for an interesting club.


On the bright side, though, the Knicks have gotten some of the most
production they’ve had out of Stoudemire since Anthony arrived in New
York, and first-year wing Tim Hardaway Jr has fit in well with the Big
Apple culture.


This Friday the Knicks will put themselves on the line as they take
on their division rival Toronto Raptors. The Raps have already clinched
their postseason berth and should serve as a valuable gauging tool for
those interested in seeing how New York stacks up.
