White-Hot Phillies Push the NL East Odds Off the Board Entirely
Published:
About two and a half weeks ago, before the sweep at Citi Field, the Phillies were a -1300 favorite to win the NL East. That number dipped significantly after three losses in a row. Now it’s not even available at BetMGM after the Phillies took the first two games at Citizens Bank Park this week to push the division lead to nine games:
NL East
- Favorites: Off the board
- Highest Ticket%: Mets 30.6%
- Highest Handle%: Phillies 50.8%
- Biggest Liability: Marlins
The Brewers are a -10000 favorite in the NL Central with a six-game lead and the Dodgers are -350 to win the NL West while fighting off the Padres. Not a single team has a larger division lead than the Phils, not even the Tigers, who are 8.5 games up on the Guardians with a few weeks left in the season.
Looking across New Jersey and Pennsylvania sports betting, the Phils are also off the board at bet365, but you can get the Phillies to win the division at ESPN Bet. It’s -20000, so, uh, not a lot of value there, but feel free to tail, because a win is a win, especially one that looks as good as this:
