Atlanta at Philadelphia

The Phillies are without Ryan Howard, and they are coming off an embarrassing 13-4 defeat to Atlanta. But, do they really deserve to be an underdog here? Jonathan Pettibone has been very good this year, especially at home where he has allowed just 12 earned runs in 42.3 innings pitched at home. The Braves' offense rarely breaks out on the road where they are averaging just 4.1 runs per game this season. As a small favorite in the -100 to -150 range this season, Atlanta is just 9-15. I like Philly here as a dog.
