MLB Betting: Underachieving Red Sox, Disappointing Phillies Clash
A pair of underachieving World Series contenders will clash in interleague play this weekend, as the Philadelphia Phillies look to shake off some of their rust against an equally-disappointing Boston Red Sox team. Get your MLB odds for the ugly affair at Bovada. Though each has struggled mightily to start the 2012 campaign, the Phillies and Red Sox remain intriguing options on the MLB betting line. The question is, how long do they deserve such praise on the World Series futures list if they’re not producing results? Heading into the weekend set the two clubs are dead last in their respective divisions, having shown no indication of crawling out of the basement any time soon. Could a strong showing against the other give at least one of them some momentum to climb back up the standings? According to Bovada’s MLB odds makers, the Phillies still hold 11/1 odds of winning the World Series. The Red Sox, perhaps slightly more dysfunctional at the time, sit lower down the list at 18/1. It might not be pretty, but there’s nowhere to go but up for both clubs. Weigh in the series with Bovada’s MLB betting line today. Get all your MLB futures at Bovada’s online sportsbook
