MLB World Series Betting - Philadelphia Phillies vs Tampa Bay Raysby Mike RoseThe Fall Classic is finally upon us, and MLB bettors will get their chance to get in on all of the action of the first game of the World Series when the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays do battle from Tropicana Field. Philadelphia has been sitting on the sidelines since last Wednesday when they finished out the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games to win the National League. Meanwhile, the Rays completed a series of highs and lows against the Boston Red Sox when they eliminated the defending champions 3-1 in Game 7 of the ALCS on Sunday. Manager Charlie Manuel will hand the ball to his ace, LHP Cole Hamels to open the World Series. The lefty has been fantastic in his postseason starts, winning all three to date. All three outings resulted in winners for baseball bettors who parlayed the Phils and the 'under'. Hamels has allowed just 19 base runners and three earned runs in 22 innings.

In total, the ace of the Philadelphia staff went 14-10 with a 3.09 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 33 regular season starts. Phillies bettors went 19-14 in those starts, losing $407 on the season. He's only made one start against the Rays in his career, giving up six runs in 3.2 innings. At the outset of the season, the slogan in the Rays' clubhouse was "9=8." Nine guys playing hard for nine innings would put Tampa Bay amongst the eight teams in the postseason. Now the mantra Tampa Bay is aiming for is "9=1." In order to move one step closer to their first championship, manager Joe Maddon will send LHP Scott Kazmir to the mound. The last time MLB bettors saw Kazmir on the mound, he left with his Rays leading 7-0 in the 7th inning in Game 5 of the ALCS. Tampa Bay blew the game for arguably their best pitcher in franchise history, and had to wait until Sunday to close out the series. 2009 World Series betting odds and the 2009 baseball World Series predictions by Tom Morgan! Kazmir is 1-0 with a 4.02 ERA in three outings this postseason, but the team has won two of his three starts to reel in MLB playoff bettors a cool hundred bucks to date. In the regular season, the lefty went 12-8 in 27 starts with a 3.49 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. He was a sparkling 8-2 at the Trop in 2008, with a miniscule 2.90 ERA. Kazmir is 1-0 in his career against the Phillies. The baseball betting odds couldn't be any tighter, as both teams are -105. The 'total' currently sits at a 7.5, under -125. These two clubs haven't met since the '06 season. Tampa Bay took two out of three in Philadelphia that year, and is 8-2 in their L/10 meetings.
