Nobody understands how he does it, but Roy Halladay is the modern-day ironman when he is out on the mound. His five complete games and three shutouts both lead the Major Leagues, and it appears that it could very well be another All-Star invite for Halladay once mid-July rolls around. He is not the only one that is vying for a spot on the All-Star Roster, as Cole Hamels is also having a tremendous start to his 2010 season. Both men are part of the equation that has gotten Philadelphia so many wins up to this point in the season. The hitters have also had something to do with the Phillies success. Ryan Howard's 14 HR and 53 RBI put him squarely in the team lead in both of those categories while Placido Polanco hits for a high average without any unwanted strikeouts that drive a manager crazy. With all of this talent, it becomes pretty easy to select the Phildadelphia Phillies as the free bet selection for the game against the Reds.

If you would have asked anyone before the season started who Mike Leake was, they wouldn't have been able to give you much of an answer. Leake has been the most dominant pitcher for the Reds up to this point in the season. With a 5-1 record and 2.92 ERA, Leake has taken the Reds to first place in the National League's Central division, and it appears that there will be little to stop him for now. A weak bullpen, however, could plague the Reds against a solid group of professionals like the Phillies. Young guys like Nick Masset and Logan Ondrusek have been pressed into action fairly quickly and will need further time to develop before they become the shutdown relievers that the Reds need to win a World Series. Philadelphia just has too much talent top-to-bottom in their lineup for the Reds to get past, and it will be the Phillies getting the free wager victory on Wednesday night.

The cream always rises to the top and that is what is beginning to happen in the National League Playoff race. While Cincinnati finds themselves atop the Central division, they will have to find more answers for their bullpen and lineup if they are to make a run at an October Playoff spot. The Phillies have to find a couple of starters that have the kind of control and movement on their pitches that can win ball games come October. For this series, though, betsfreebets.com is willing to place their free bet selection on the theory that Philadelphia will just be too much for Cincinnati to handle.
