15* on Philadelphia Phillies (+110) at 5DIMES

Take the Phillies at home over the Braves tonight. I know that
Braves' starter, Tommy Hanson has been great this year, but I have
to give the edge to the Philadelphia offense. The Phillies average
5.4 runs per game at home and have one of the most dangerous
lineups in baseball. Pedro Martinez makes his second home start
and 3rd start overall for the Phillies. Pedro hasn't impressed so
far with his numbers, but the Phillies are 3-0 in his starts for
them. The Braves' offense is geared to hit left-handed starters,
while they have struggled against righties. As a team they hit
.259 as a team and score 4.1 runs per game when they face
right-handed starters, both numbers well below their season
average. Here you have one of the top 3 teams in the National
League at even money or better at home. I'll take it.
