Tip and bets

1.86Handicap (-1.5) to Philadelphia

The Phillies have a successful home record against the Pirates. In four previous head-to-head games at Philadelphia, the Phillies got landslide victories. The visitors don't have any tournament motivation, which cannot be said about the hosts: the Phillies who can secure a top-six spot. The competition is very tight, and a victory will help the hosts retain their position.

The game will be very hard for the guests. It is always difficult for the Pirates to play in Philadelphia, and this time the performance will be affected by a number of injuries in the team. The Phillies should start the series with a confident victory.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) to the Philadelphia Phillies.
