Division-leading Phillies Host Second-place Braves on MLB Betting Board The Midsummer Classic is on its way but not before fans get chance to bet on
MLB baseball for one final series. Just in time to lead fans into the All-Star break, the National League's top two clubs will square off in a three-game set starting on Friday.
Both the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves have done nothing but win this season, and it's their dominance in a tough NL East division that has made them each legitimate threats for the 2011 title.
According to Bodog's
online sportsbook, the Phillies are the league?s early favorite with 11/4 odds of winning the World Series. The Atlanta Braves, hampered only by the fact that they?re stuck in the same division as the 2008 champs, have 18/1 odds.
Assuming the Braves can maintain their dominance, a National League wild card berth might just be in store. If they play their cards right and their division rival Phillies end up faltering, a division title may be in line as well.
One of the best ways the Braves can ensure that they?ll be in the conversation when it comes to the NL East race at the end of the season is to make the most of their opportunities against the team they?re chasing.
In nine games against the Phillies so far this season, the Braves have gone 5-4, but will have a tough time facing the top of Philly's rotation this weekend. Expect Roy Halladay to take the hill on Friday, before Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels follow suit.
Will Brandon Beachy, Tommy Hanson and Derek Lowe - an effective yet considerably less discussed triumvirate - be able to keep up?
