Philadelphia Phillies Poised for Victory Against Boston Red Sox at Home

The Philadelphia Phillies have been impressive on the road this season, boasting an 18-10 record away from home. They have also excelled in interleague matchups, going 9-2 in such games. While both starting pitchers in the upcoming match are skilled, I believe Sánchez presents a more reliable option due to his ability to consistently pitch deep into games. On the other hand, Pivetta has struggled to go beyond six innings in most of his outings, putting extra pressure on the home team's bullpen. The Phillies have proven themselves as a formidable offensive force, averaging 4.7 runs per game on the road with a slash line of .259 BA/.334 OBP/.414 SLG/.748 OPS. In contrast, the Boston Red Sox have underperformed at home, with a .304 OBP and 4.0 runs/game. Considering these factors, I recommend taking advantage of the Phillies winning outright tomorrow at favorable odds of under -130.
