Run line/Against the spread
Seven of the Phillies’ 8 wins have come by 2 runs or more. The rookie Feltner is being done no favors by facing a home nine that has banged out 20 hits — 7 of the extra-base variety — the last 2 games. Still, when dealing with short past performances like that of Feltner’s record, it may be wise to dial down the wager unit.
BACK THE PHILLIES -1.5 (-103).
Over/Under
The Over was a decent play the first 2 games of this series, and that’s the lean again for Wednesday. But with a forecast of cooled-off temperatures and a pitcher’s wind blowing in from left-center … and the back ends of both pens being well-rested, there is some respect here to the risk underneath the total.
The 25-cent line muddies this picture. Consider holding out for a +100 tag on the 8.5 runs.
