This is a 10* UNDERDOG FIRST HALF GAME OF THE YEAR on the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Phillies upset the Dodgers 7-2 last night and I think can build off that victory here, with confidence on their side, the value is simply too great to turn down as I look for the visitors to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. The Phillies hand the ball to Adam Morgan (1-1, 2.13 ERA) who gave up two runs over seven innings in a 2-1 loss at Atlanta on Friday. Morgan is backed by a lineup which is batting .296 while averaging 5.1 runs over its last seven. And I think that's bad news for clearly struggling Clayton Kershaw (5-6, 3.08 ERA) who is 0-3 since his last win despite a 2.41 ERA; Kershaw has obviously been the victim of poor run support and if last night's outcome was any indicator, then all signs point to another difficult outing for the home side's scuffling ace. A perfect storm of factors combined with an unbelievable line make this a selection which we can't turn down, play on the PHILLIES.
