World Series Game 1 Betting Preview
Philadelphia Phillies at Tampa Bay Rays

SBG Global Opening Line:
Phillies -PK, Total 7.5 Under -125

If the betting odds are any indication we could be in for a very good World Series. The Game One odds on Wednesday are a pick while the overall World Series odds are not much different. Tampa is a very slight favorite, mainly because they have the home field advantage. The series has a 2-3-2 format with the first two and the last two games at Tampa Bay. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Phillies on the Road.

The Phillies will send their ace, Cole Hamels on Wednesday while the Rays are expected to counter with Scott Kazmir. The one main advantage that the Phillies have in this series is Hamels. He has been brilliant in the playoffs going 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA. He won the NLCS MVP as he held the Dodgers to just three runs in 14 innings of work.
