Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Rotation #971 Monday Free Pick Philadelphia Phillies Money Line (+) @ New York Yankees @ 7:05 ET - There is simply too much value here to ignore. Yes the Phillies are off a layoff and now have to face an ace pitcher in Cole. However, to be nearly a 3 to 1 underdog in this spot makes Philadelphia worthy of considering for a small investment in this one. The Phillies are managed by Joe Girardi who played some of his career with the Yankees plus managed them as well as recently as 2017. You know he really wants this game tonight. While the Phillies can't wait to get back onto the field after facing the Marlins amidst their covid-19 outbreak, the Yankees could get caught here still celebrating their huge win last night. Down 7-6 heading to bottom of the 8th against their long-time rival, the Red Sox, the Yankees rallied and ended up winning the game 9-7 courtesy of a 2 out 2 run bomb from Judge. A big game win and a big series win for the Yankees and they could be flat here. Then you look at this Phillies lineup and they have some big sticks in it and plus they have a true "gamer" in Jake Arrieta on the mound. Veteran starting pitcher, solid lineup, and catching the Yankees at the right time for an upset plus getting a very big underdog money line here...it all adds up to a nice spot for taking a "flyer" on the road dog in this one.
