Homer Bailey - Bodog MLB Baseball Odds: Philadelphia Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds

The Philadelphia Phillies will get back to work on Monday night as they open an MLB betting series on the road against the Cincinnati Reds.

Philadelphia's Saturday and Sunday contests against the Marlins were wiped out by Hurricane Irene, depriving MLB bettors at the Bodog Sportsbook of the chance to make some money off the National League's top team on the weekend.

For Monday the Phillies are expected to send Cole Hamels (13-7, 2.62 ERA) to the hill, as he makes his return from the 15-day disabled list; he's been out since mid-August with a sore shoulder.

Lefthander Hamels last pitched on August 12 at home against Washington, allowing three runs on six hits over five innings of work in a loss that day. Overall the Phillies are 5-5 in Hamels' last 10 outings despite the fact he surrendered two or fewer runs in eight of those 10 contests.

Hamels faced the Reds on May 23 in Philly, allowing three runs over six innings of work in a win in that game.

Homer Bailey (7-5, 4.44 ERA) is the probable pitcher for the Reds on Monday, and he took a no-decision on the road against the Marlins in his most recent start (three runs on five hits over seven innings of work).

Righthander Bailey pitched in Philadelphia on May 26, allowing four runs over four innings in a no-decision.

On the MLB futures odds market at the Bodog Sportsbook the Phillies lead the way right now with 2/1 odds to win the 2011 World Series and 10/13 odds to claim the NL Pennant. The Reds are back at 250/1 on the World Series odds and 125/1 on the NL Pennant odds.
