Stephen Nover's Run Line Game of the Week - Largest RL Wager of Season
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. NY Yankees, 08/03/2020 7:05 PM, Score: 3 - 6
Point Spread: -1.50 | -151.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Win
Coming off eight days of being idle due to Coronavirus concerns, the Phillies are back in action against the best pitcher in the American League if not all of baseball - Gerrit Cole. Good luck with that. 
This is a huge mismatch and it's priced accurately that way. But the juice can be reduced to a more manageable level by backing the Yankees on the run line laying 1 1/2 runs. 
The Yankees are in the argument for best team in baseball opening 7-1. The Phillies appear way down this season. They've played only three games going 1-2. The three starting pitchers the Phillies have drawn are Sanday Alcantara, Caleb Smith and Robert Dugger. Now their rusty bats have to go against the dominant righty Cole. Philadelphia is 1-8 the last nine times it has faced a righty starter. 
The Phillies are starting Jake Arrieta, who is on the downside of his career and coming back from an elbow injury. . 
The Yankees have won six in a row. Cole is riding a career-best 18-game win streak. He hasn't lost in his last 24 starts. 
New York has been dominant as a home favorite winning 45 of the last 57 times in that role for 79 percent. All of the Yankees' victories except one this season have been by more than one run.
