Baseball Betting - Phillies Acquire 2008 Cy Young Winner- Baseball Bet Online

The Philadelphia Phillies (58-40 SU, 53-45 RL, 44-48-6 O/U) will be trying to extend their four-game winning streak in the SPORTSBETTING.com baseball betting Sportsbook when they battle the Arizona Diamondbacks (43-58 SU, 48-53 RL, 48-47-6 O/U) at Chase Field tonight at 10 PM ET.


The Philadelphia Phillies couldn’t agree to a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays for Roy Halladay so they moved on.


Philly acquired Cliff Lee–last year’s Cy Young winner–and OF Ben Francisco from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for some minor leaguers.


Lee isn’t exactly a winning pitcher this year however.


Philadelphia has gone a blistering 4-0 in their last four road games against a right-handed starter and a spotless 7-0 in their last seven games against a team with a losing record.


The Diamondbacks have struggled immensely in going 17-39 in their last 56 games as an underdog and just 2-5 in their last seven games against a National League East opponent.


While Philadelphia’s J.A. Happ was rocked his last time out, the Phillies have gone a impressive 4-1 in Happ’s last five starts during game 3 of a series while the D-Backs have struggled to record a win with Yusmeiro Petit on the mound, going 5-16 in Petit’s last 21 starts overall and a pitiful 0-7 in Petit’s last seven home starts.


Take the Phillies for the outright win and RL cover while the final score plays over the set O/U total.


Baseball Betting odds - In his last 20 games, Cleveland was only 8-12 SU.
