Yankees at Phillies picks and predictions
Prediction
Phillies 4, Yankees 3
Moneyline
BET PHILLIES (-154).
The Phillies are 6-1 in Wheeler’s last 7 home starts. In those 7, dating back to April 20, he has allowed a combined 10 ER.
The Phillies will have a clear pitching advantage, having won Wheeler’s last 3 starts, and the Yankees, who played in Boston Sunday evening, will have a rest disadvantage.
New York is 2-3 in its last 5 games and 2-2 in its last 4 on the road. Considering the Phillies’ strength with Wheeler on the mound and at home in general, back PHILLIES (-154).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
The Yankees are too expensive to take on the run line, at more than 1½ times a potential return. The Phillies, on the other hand, are too risky as run-line favorites.
Avoid this play.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 9 (-105).
The Phillies and Yankees both have efficient starters, which should help limit runs. The Phillies have gone Under in 3 straight games, scoring 12 runs over that span while allowing 7. They have scored 4 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 6 games.
Philadelphia is 2-6 O/U in its last 8 games. The Yankees have gone Over in 3 straight games overall, but have gone Under in Gil’s last 3 starts, allowing just 7 runs in those 3 outings combined. Considering those trends, take UNDER 9 (-105).
