Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Trea Turner was 1-4 in last night’s loss. He has a hit every game this series and a fourteen game hitting streak. That extends all the way back to the regular season. Look for Trea to stay consistent and support the lineup when needed.
Arizona Diamondbacks DFS Spin
Gabriel Moreno last night went 2-3 with two RBIs and two walks. He has four hits from four games this series. Has not demonstrated a lot of power in the regular season, only hitting seven home runs, but a reliable bat and catcher creates a difference in the Diamondback lineup.

Phillies vs. Diamondbacks Game 5 MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Home team has won every game this series. The way each game has ended in the series has demonstrated home field as the difference maker. Close games it provides the late spark. Blow outs it has served as the initial catalyst. Tonight is a great spot for the Phillies to steal home field back and apply the pressure at home for games six and seven. I am staying with the home field trends and fading the public perception. Bet the Diamondbacks.
Phillies vs. Diamondbacks Game 5 Prediction: Arizona ML (+112)
