AAA's BIG-CHALK RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION (73-41 +$18,671 RUN-LINE STREAK!)
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Detroit,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 147.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 5* BIG-CHALK RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Phillies are one of the worst offensive clubs in the league, but they're backed by what we feel to be the clearly superior starter. In a contest which we predict will be decided late or in extra innings, we're going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. The visitors hand the ball to Vince Velasquez (5-1, 2.42 ERA) who gave up three hits and two walks while stirking out ten over five scoreless innings in a victory over the Marlins on Tuesday. The home side counters with the erratic Mike Pelfrey (0-4, 5.49) who gave up two runs off seven hits and a walk with three K's over five innings in a no-decision vs. Minnesota on Tuesday. Pelfrey has now allowed eight home runs in as many starts this year and he has only 23 strikeouts in 41 innings of work (and note that Pelfrey owns a poor 0-2, 6.10 ERA in front of the home town crowd this year). Play on the PHILLIES on the RUN-LINE.
