New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies (7/3/09)

New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies (-152) 7:05 pm EST
Pick: Phillies (-152 ML)

Units Risked: 2
Reason:
Well last night we saw the old John Lackey, and he cashed our tickets for another winner and our second straight July winner. Tonight we are looking for more.
Tonight our play takes us to Philadelphia. We have two teams battling it out in the NL East race, and neither team is playing good baseball. The Phillies just got swept away by the Atlanta Braves, and while the Mets did beat the Pirates and have a two game winning streak. Yes that's right they beat the Pirates, so let's not throw a parade just yet.
So why am I on this game and the Phillies who are struggling? Simple.....On Friday night, the slumping Phillies will try to avoid their first seven-game home skid in nearly five year. And they will do so against a team that they flat out OWN.
Livan Hernandez gets the start for the Mets tonight. Hernandez (5-3, 4.04 ERA) will face the Phillies for the first time in a Mets uniform. Hernandez is 0-2 in his last three starts. Now here is the interesting part. The Phils are in need of a starter for tonight so they have called up Rodrigo Lopez from Triple A. Lopez was summoned for his first major league start since July 26, 2007 when he was with Colorado.
Lopez had Tommy John surgery a month later, and spent last season recovering. The right-hander went 5-4 with a 3.91 ERA in 13 starts with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and is 65-65 with a 4.80 ERA in a seven-year major league career.
And Lopez is a -152 FAVORITE? This line smells off to me, and while I know the Phils are at home we already discussed that they dropped 6 straight there, and they just got swept. They have no business being a -152 favorite tonight, and for that reason I am on them.

You have a great point here. I believe this line was set before Lopez was even named to start tonight. And of course coming off the poor showing in Atlanta they just had, why would a team who is not very strong at home be favored to a perennial power in the Mets by that much???

Good call here...and I should've sniffed it out myself.
