After an injury plagued end of the season, MVP OF Bryce Harper returned to the lineup and led the Philadelphia Phillies to the World Series. Although Philadelphia came up just short against the Houston Astros, the team has reloaded and are ready to take another shot in 2023.
With the addition of coveted SS Trea Turner added to the lineup along with Harper, C J.T. Realmuto, LF Kyle Schwarber and 1B Rhys Hoskins, the Phillies lineup should be dangerous.
Phillies top prospect RHP Andrew Painter is tied for the 7th shortest odds (+1300) to win NL Rookie of the Year. At just 19 years old, there’s a chance he could make the Opening Day roster and add to a rotation that already has RHP Aaron Nola and RHP Zack Wheeler (both +1200 to win NL Cy Young Award). The rotation and strong bullpen will allow the Phillies to compete for the NL East alongside the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves.
Let’s analyze the Philadelphia Phillies’ World Series odds, along with their projected win total, playoff, division and NL odds as we make our expert MLB picks and predictions.

Odds: +1500 (bet $100 to win $1500)
Although the Phillies have the 5th shortest odds in the NL, it ranks 3rd in its own division, behind the Mets (+700) and Braves (+900).
With the Phillies also trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers (+700) and San Diego Padres (+900), their +1500 odds offer a good value.
Philadelphia has the offense and pitching to make another run to the World Series. If the Phillies can stay healthy, they could be the best team in the NL East.
PHILADLEPHIA (+1500) is wonderful value and is worth a bet.

Philadelphia Phillies playoff odds
Will they make the playoffs: Yes -220 | No +175
The Phillies are a virtual lock to make the playoffs, but the -220 price is too much to tie up for the 6-month duration of the season. A wager in other areas, such as the division odds or the win total, are a much better way to use your funds.
PASS.
Philadelphia Phillies win total
Over/Under: 89.5 (O: +100 | U: -125)
With Turner entering the fold, sportsbooks have raised Philadelphia’s win total 2.5 wins over its final tally in 2022. If Harper can remain healthy all season and the pitching of Nola and Wheeler, combined with rookie Painter, can continue to thrive, this team could get Over with ease.
Even in a tough division with the Mets and Braves above them in all odds, it’s a solid bet. We’ve already seen the Mets lose a major player to a season-ending injury in closer Edwin Diaz. If another injury like this occurs, Philadelphia could be poised to pounce.
OVER 89.5 (+100) is the best way to wager this line.

To win NL East Division
- Atlanta Braves +130 (bet $100 to win $130)
- New York Mets +140 (bet $100 to win $140)
- Philadelphia Phillies +300 (bet $100 to win $300)
- Miami Marlins +5000 (bet $100 to win $5,000)
- Washington Nationals +20000 (bet $100 to win $20,000)
With an 87-85 regular-season record, the Phillies finished 3rd in the last year, but still made it to the World Series, working their way through the playoffs as the NL’s No. 2 Wild Card.
With the injury to Diaz taking a bite out of the Mets, New York’s odds have already dropped to second behind Atlanta. If Philadelphia can avoid hitting a midseason slump that has happened in recent years, they could run away with the division by September.
PHILADELPHIA (+300) is good value for a team whose odds should be closer to +200, so it’s definitely worth a play.
To win National League
Odds: +750 (bet $100 to win $750)
Falling in line just behind the Padres (+425) and ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals (+1000), the Phillies are a solid wager at +750.
They won the NL in 2022 and they didn’t have Turner and possible Rookie of the Year Painter on the roster.
Turner (+1200) is tied for 5th with Dodgers 1B Freddie Freeman and Padres 3B Manny Machado in NL MVP odds. If he can live up to the billing and Harper comes into the season and remains healthy, Philadelphia has a wonderful chance to repeat as league champs.
BACK PHILLY (+750) to win the NL.
