Tampa is looking for some revenge from there World Series loss last season against the Phillies today and they have a good shot in getting it with the troubles the Phillies have had in there pitching this season. The Phillies have faced AL East teams there last 9 games going 1-8 in those games and losing there last 6 games at home to Toronto and Baltimore. The Rays are leading the league in runs scored and that is a bad sign for a Phillies team that has no bullpen with 3 of there best relievers on the DL and Ibanez on the DL that is a big bat that is missing from there lineup as well. The Pitching matchup in this game is Moyer (4-6 6.35 ERA) vs Price (1-1 3.46 ERA) with Tampa hitting .281 against lefties this season I don’t see a problem with them getting enough runs today not to cover the RL. RL are covering at 72% this season so I believe this is a good value bet in this spot.
