#909 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Philadelphia Phillies +105 over San Francisco Giants, Monday at 5:05 PM ET - The Phillies have the best record in baseball this season and they also are facing a struggling left-handed starter today that commands respect from the betting markets yet he has not pitched like he deserves it this season. The start of Blake Snell's season has been marred by injuries and he had missed spring training already and now he has been on paternity leave too. Add up all of these variables and it comes as no surprise that Snell has struggled. Snell is 0-3 with an 11.40 ERA this season. We are making this wager with action on the pitchers as there is an outside chance Snell could get scratched and also our play is not heavily based on Phillies pitcher Taijuan Walker either. However, we will say that Walker has a respectable 3.98 ERA this month and allowed only 1 earned run in 6 innings in his only road start this month. The Phillies are 16-8 on the road this season and the Giants are an ugly 6-14 against teams that currently have a .500 record on the season. Philadelphia is 11-2 this season against NL West teams! The Phillies are one of the top hitting teams in the majors away from home this season and have a .338 on base percentage which ranks #2 in the majors. Philadelphia has won 28 of 36 games but they are coming off a loss yesterday. The Phillies have been fantastic off a loss this season including going 13-1 the last 14 times! The Phillies have won all 4 games against SF this season and 6 of the last 7! The Giants have been playing well but their lineup is just not on par with that of Philadelphia's and we like the line value with the Phillies available here without laying any juice and coming off a loss. San Francisco has a slugging percentage at home that ranks them in the lower third of the majors! Phillies get the call in this one Monday.
