Sports Betting: Phillies vs. Marlins MLB Free Pick

When we were researching for today’s MLB Free Pick, we couldn’t help but notice the “David vs. Goliath” type match-up we have in the second half of the Philadelphia Phillies vs. Florida Marlins doubleheader today.

Philadelphia has a National League Wild Card berth clinched after the Doc shutout the Astros 1-0 on Wednesday. The Phillies magic number to clinch the top seed in the National League is down to four and just a formality now. We’ll be flying air Philadelphia tonight!

Along with stable mate Roy Halladay and Clayton Kershaw from the Los Angeles Dodgers, Phillies RHP Cliff Lee (16-7 2.44 ERA) is in the running for the National League Cy Young Award. Lee has simply been lights out as he has allowed just three runs, on 34 hits with 52 strikeouts, in his last 55.2 innings pitched.

Way down at the other end of the spectrum, the Marlins will send less than seasoned sophomore, RHP Alex Sanabia, to the bump tonight. Sabnabia is a September call-up, from the New Orleans Zephyrs of the Pacific Coast League, and has one inning pitched in the Majors this season. Yikes!

MLB Sports Betting Lines: Marlins @ Phillies Free Pick

We surf over the sportsbook at the BetDSI.com online sport wagering website for tonight’s Free Pick betting lines on the Philadelphia vs Florida match-up.

The numbers are big but remember, it’s not about how much you MIGHT win, but rather how many times you actually CASH the counts.

While the Phillies aren’t the best hitting team in baseball the Marlins aren’t going to get much going with General Lee leading the troops tonight.

It is pretty nasty of Philadelphia to send out Lee in the night cap of this two game make-up double dip. The Marlins have already swam through a nine inning 3-1 loss, in the first half of the twin-bill, and won’t exactly be fresh for this one.

We don’t expect the Phillies to let off the gas until they have everything sewn up – which could happen as early as Friday when they face the St. Louis Cardinals.
