Phillies Backed at -1.5 Against Yankees as Sanchez Brings 1.03 Home ERA

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 26

Summary

  • Philadelphia is the recommended play on the run line rather than the moneyline, with the Phillies listed around -193 despite dropping the first two games of the series.
  • Christopher Sanchez drives that pick: he is 12-4 with a 2.64 ERA overall and a 1.03 ERA at home, while Yankees hitters are batting .200 against him in 45 at-bats.
  • New York counters with Will Warren, who is 7-4 with a 4.00 ERA and 1.37 WHIP after a brief relief outing Wednesday; Phillies hitters are 8-for-31 against him with one Kyle Schwarber homer.
  • The case for a multi-run Phillies win also leans on game trends: the Yankees have played 25 one-run games and the Phillies 27 in 105 games, leaving fewer than 25% decided by a single run.
