NATIONAL LEAGUE BOOKIEKILLER: 21-12 ALL APRIL!
(MLB) Giants (SFG) vs. Phillies (PHI),
Money Line: -150.00 Phillies (PHI) (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* NL BOOKIEKILLER on the Philadelphia Phillies.

After yesterday's humbling 10-4 series-opening loss here to the Giants, I like the Phillies to dig deep and find a way to deliver a victory here on Tuesday.

The Giants are 4-1 in their last five and 12-4 overall, while the Phillies are just 1-4 in their last five and 9-7 overall.

The bottom line here though is that I just don't trust Justin Verlander, who is 0-0 with a 6.92 ERA and 1.69 WHIP for the Giants.

I'm giving a big nod to Jesus Luzardo in this matchup, as the Phillies' ace right now is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP.

All things considered, I believe this line could/should in fact be a lot larger.

Lay the price, the play is PHILADELPHIA.

Good luck, NP
