World Series Betting – Take Phillies All The Way To The Bank

Most baseball betting players will tell you that good pitching will beat good hitting nine times out of ten, and San Francisco proved that last year in their World Series win. The breeders cup betting odds are looking towards a team with great pitching as the favorites for this year’s Fall Classic, and it’s tough to bet against them.

Philadelphia is the smart play because of their all-world starting rotation: Roy Halladay and Cole Hamels are legitimate Cy Young candidates and as of right night, you could probably throw Cliff Lee in the mix as well and he may be the most unhittable of the three. Roy Oswalt has had a tough year, but he’s still capable of a solid start and he could be the No.4 in the postseason; if not, he and impressive rookie Vince Worley can be added to a strong bullpen that is led by Ryan Madsen. The Philadelphia offense isn’t as explosive as the team that won the 2008 World Series, but they have veterans like Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Jimmie Rollins who have been through the pressure of the postseason and they won’t be intimidated by anyone.

But the key is to the Phillies is their pitching, and few teams, if any, in the majors, can throw out a playoff rotation like Halladay, Lee and Hamels. Look for the Phillies to ride their horses in the starting rotation to the World Series, and they should be your sports betting online pick.
