Philadelphia Phillies Player Prop

By Derek Carty

THE BAT X is forecasting 1.38 earned runs for Cristopher Sanchez compared to 2.11 earned runs implied by the oddsmakers, so I believe there is value.

If you take the under, you'd be projected to win 69% of the time, resulting in a 41% ROI. Based on a $100 wager, the expected value would be $40.94.

This play is good down to at least -120.
