MLB FREE PICK: Philadelphia Phillies -150

I think its worth the price to lay the juice on the Phillies at home with Roy Halladay on the mound. Halladay hasn't been his usual self, but he is still 4-3 with a 3.22 ERA in nine starts. He has started to get it turned around with a 2.86 ERA and 0.955 WHIP over his last three starts. He also has a 2.57 ERA and 1.000 WHIP in four starts at home.

Halladay has owned the Nationals. He is 11-1 with a 2.26 ERA and 0.985 WHIP in 15 career start. Washington will counter with Jordan Zimmerman, who is one of the up-and-coming stars. However, Zimmerman, has yet to figure out the Phillies. He is 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA and 1.714 WHIP in four career starts against Philadelphia.

The Phillies are 36-16 in their last 52 games as a favorite of -110 to -150, 23-7 in Halladays last 30 starts vs. National League East and 14-3 in Halladays last 17 starts after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. BET PHILADELPHIA!
