Florida Marlins vs. Philadelphia Phillies Preview - June 10th

One of the brightest young pitchers in the game will be taking on a wily veteran on Thursday evening as the Florida Marlins travel to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies. Anibal Sanchez is scheduled to pitch for the Marlins, while Jamie Moyer is set to get the start for Philly. While the Marlins are currently mired in a slump of sorts, the Phillies are making a push to catch the Braves for the National League East lead. betsfreebets.com sees this game as being very important for both sides, as they look to establish their position in the division in the early portions of this season. It will just be too much for the Marlins to overcome, however, as the home town Philadelphia crowd will make the difference and get their Phillies the victory. Bettors are advised to place their free bet on the Phillies for this game. It is going to be tough for bettors to go against Anibal Sanchez, who is currently pitching very well with his 5-3 record and 3.18 ERA. In his 11 starts this season, Sanchez has struck out 51 batters in 68 innings pitched, so he has been very efficient at making the correct pitches at the correct times. He has also gotten help, as have the other Marlins starters, from the tremendous bullpen that the Marlins roll out on a nightly basis. Pitchers like Clay Hensley, Leo Nunez, and Renyel Pinto have all pitched exceptionally well, while some of the younger arms get used to pitching in the big leagues. At the plate, it has been the Dan Uggla show in south Florida so far this year. Uggla's 13 home runs and 34 RBI sit him at or near the top of those respective categories on the team. Cody Ross and Jorge Cantu both have averages that are bordering on .300, and Hanley Ramirez has been having a great season since his early season run in with manager Freddi Gonzalez. The Marlins are undoubtedly talented, but it is difficult to defeat the Phillies anywhere, let alone at home. The free bet pick selection for this game should go on the Phillies to defeat the Marlins. While Jamie Moyer hasn't been the most dominant pitcher on the Phillies staff so far this season, he has been one of the more consistent. His 3.98 ERA is not terrific, but it does show that Moyer can still get the job done at age 48. He has already thrown three complete games and two shutouts, which would put him at the top of the Phillies' list if it wasn't for the presence of the robotic Roy Halladay and his ability to pitch complete games like most pitchers throw five innings. Placido Polanco continues to enjoy great success since rejoining his teammates in Philadelphia. Polanco, who rarely strikes out and is currently hitting .320, has given the front of the Phillies lineup a much needed boost, which has ultimately paid dividends for their season's success. With Polanco's contact ability and Howard's power numbers, the Phillies should have no problem getting the free wager victory on Thursday night. It continues to be an up-and-down season for the Marlins, as they seem to be unsure if they want to succeed or not. However, they do have a good, young squad, though they might be two-to-three years away from recognizing any kind of prolonged success. Philadelphia just has too many weapons to counteract, and that is why betsfreebets.com is picking the Phillies for the free bet selection on June 10th.
