PHILLIES at NETS
The Phillies invade Coors Field Thursday and it will be just their sixth road game of 2019 and the Rockies’ sixth home contest.
If you look at the first game the Phillies have played in Denver each of the last five seasons, you see their runs output as thus – in order – 1, 4, 2, 3, 1. That’s 11 runs in five games. Not very Mile High-esque. You’d think that would lead us to the Under.
Except for this little thing: the best offensive players on the Phillies right now are not named Harper and Hoskins, but rather Franco (6 RBI in last 3 GP), Realmuto (6-for-13, 7 RBI) and McCutchen (.452 OBS in last 6 last GP).
When the bullets have that many chambers to choose in the thin air, that team is gonna score.
Pick: Phillies Over 5.5 Runs (-103)
SIXERS at NETS
In the Sixers’ last three games against the Nets, Philly has scored 28 or more points in nine of the 12 quarters. The posted O/U for the first quarter Thursday we saw is 29.5, well within our comfort range.
And if that doesn’t come in, we can double up in the succeeding periods with Live Betting. This team has too much fire power to be held down for an entire game.
Pick: Sixers First Quarter Points Over 29.5 (11-8)
ROAD PARLAY
Hard for us to resist and a simultaneous (8:05 and 8:40 starts) Double Philly on the Road Parlay on a Thursday night.
Not just have to find a place to watch them that has more than one TV . . .
Parlay: Phillies and Sixers to Win (+207)
