PHILADELPHIA (Lieber) EVEN over ARIZONA (Webb)
The Phillies are surging as baseball moves into the
final month of the season, 11 games over .500, on
top in the wild card race, and poised to make a run in
the NL East to overtake the first place Braves. They've
gone 19-11 in day games vs. righthanders (+$785) and
should fare well against Brandon Webb (-$780 overall),
whose team has lost 9 of his 13 starts at Bank One. The
D'Backs have fallen apart after a promising first half of the
season, surrendering 39 runs in a 4 game sweep by the
Mets and allowing 11 runs to this team in last night's series
opener. They are only 17-28 (-$1455) vs. righthanders at
home, so it's hard to pass up Jon Lieber at this favorable
price today.
