(Record: 0-1, -1.00) This weekend is the 4th of July weekend and the sporting world has plenty of fireworks planned for the holiday. The game of the week is no different as it will focus on the FOX Saturday game of the week. This Saturday the New York Mets travel to Philadelphia to battle the Phillies and it will be aired on Fox. The Mets have been hampered by injuries all season and have lost the majority of the starting lineup at one point or another. The amazing thing is even with all of these injuries the Mets are just two games behind the Phillies in the east. The Phillies have had problems pitching and winning at home. They are one of the league’s best road teams and need to put a run together if they want to defend their title in the east. On Saturday the Mets send Fernando Nieve to the Hill to face the Phillies. Nieve had been a nice surprise for the Mets this year up to his last start against the Brewers when he failed to make it to the fourth inning. He allowed the more runs in that game then he allowed all year in a Mets uniform. The only time that he has faced the Phillies has been in a relief appearances. The Phillies counter with crafty veteran Jamie Moyer. Moyer is 6-6 on the year and has proved that he is hittable. He got a win in his last start against the Blue Jays but got hit hard early. He rebounded with a few solid innings and got some help from his offense. This year he has not done well against the Mets giving up a run per inning pitched and posting an ERA over nine. The Mets have a chance to take the division lead if they play well enough in this series and Philly has proved that they do not play well at home. If there is a game in the series where the Mets have the edge in pitching it’s this one. Nieve will have plenty of stamina after only going three innings in his last game and the Mets have Moyer’s number. The Mets will get a solid performance by Nieve and jump on Moyer early to provide some run support. ON Saturday the Mets take down the Phillies. Game of the Week Pick: New York Mets Projected Final: Mets 7 Phillies 4

Toronto Blue Jays at Philadelphia Phillies SBG Global Opening Line: Phillies - 130 , Total 10 Over – 120
The Toronto Blue Jays are one team that could do without Interleague play. Before last night’s game the Blue Jays were 0-6 in Interleague play this season. “It’s hard to explain. Some teams beat up on you — some teams don’t,” manager Cito Gaston said. Last season the Blue Jays were 8-9 in Interleague play. Usually American League teams beat up on National League teams but that is not the case with Toronto. Only Baltimore, Kansas City and Tampa Bay have worse all-time records in Interleague play than Toronto does. SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Blue Jays on the Road. “National League people say, ‘Oh, we’re the one who’s getting screwed,’” Gaston said. “To me, you’re just getting a hitter, putting him in there and letting him hit. It’s nothing else happening. You’re getting a guy off the bench to get some at-bats. I’m pretty sure that, Philly, when they go somewhere, they will let [Matt] Stairs hit so he can get some at-bats. So, I don’t see how it can be a disadvantage for them. It’s more of a disadvantage for us. This next road trip, Philly and going into Washington, I lose my [designated hitter]. I get my pitchers in danger of getting hurt. People talk about bunting, I’m just talking about getting out of the way of the ball.” Jamie Moyer gets the start for the Phillies on Wednesday. He allowed only eight hits and three runs and struck out three in six innings last Thursday against the Mets. He is 1-2 with a 3.77 ERA in his last five starts. Here are the MLB Betting stats for Wednesday’s game. The Blue Jays are 20-41 in their last 61 Interleague games as an underdog. The Blue Jays are 1-4 in their last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Blue Jays are 2-10 in their last 12 road games. The Phillies are 7-2 in their last 9 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Phillies are 7-3 in Moyer’s last 10 home starts. Bookmaker Current Line: Phillies - 130 , Total 10 Flat
The Over is 4-0 in the Blue Jays last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Under is 8-2-1 in the Phillies last 11 games as a home favorite. The Under is 5-0 in Moyer’s last 5 starts overall. Pick: Over 10 runs

NLCS Game 5 Betting Preview SBG Global Opening Line: Phillies – 120 , Total 7.5 Under -120 The Los Angeles Dodgers are suddenly facing elimination after blowing a lead in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series and now must win on Wednesday night to force the series back to Philadelphia. It will not be easy for the Dodgers as they face Phillies ace, Cole Hamels. Los Angeles will send Chad Billingsley to the mound. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Phillies on the Road. Hamels was the Game 1 winner for the Phillies while Billingsley was the Game 2 loser for the Dodgers. It was a disappointing outing for Billingsley who was great down the stretch for the Dodgers. “The last time out he may have tried to over-prepare,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said, “That’s just my opinion. I didn’t think he changed speeds enough. He did early on in the game, and then all of a sudden it became hard, hard, hard — and he paid the price for it.” Now Billingsley must bounce back with a big game on Wednesday night or the Dodgers season is likely to be over. “He’s tough,” said Dodgers catcher Russell Martin. “He’s good in pressure situations, so I’m sure he wants another shot at it. I’m looking forward to it.” Here are the MLB betting stats for Wednesday’s game. The Phillies are 8-1 in their last 9 vs. the National League West.

I’m trying to do my job to the best that I can. If it’s on short rest, so be it. Sometimes you can be pretty sharp with an extra day or two extra days or you could be too strong.” Moyer has been the most consistent pitcher for the Phillies, leading the team in wins with 13. “He’s in tremendous shape, and he’s prepared,” Philadelphia manager Jerry Manuel said.
