Phillies Aim to Sweep Yankees as Betting Odds Heat Up in the Bronx
So, here's what's going down in New York this weekend—baseball fans are watching closely as the Philadelphia Phillies look to complete a three-game sweep against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. It’s been quite a ride so far. The Phillies came out hot in this series, taking Friday’s game 12–5 and then following it up with another solid win, 9–4, on Saturday. Now, they’ve got the momentum and a sweep is very much within reach.
The Phillies are having a solid season overall. They’ve won four of their last five games and have a 60–44 record heading into Sunday. Their road record? Pretty balanced at 27–25—not dominant, but clearly they can handle themselves away from home. On the flip side, the Yankees are slipping. They've lost three straight and seven of their last ten. At home this season, they’re 30–21, so normally tough at Yankee Stadium, but clearly vulnerable at the moment—especially without Aaron Judge, who’s out with an elbow issue.

Now, the matchup on the mound is one to watch. Philadelphia is sending out Zack Wheeler, who’s been a beast this season—he’s 9–3 with a 2.39 ERA. In his last outing against Boston, he struck out ten in six innings and didn’t walk a single batter. The guy’s been locked in. And let’s not forget Bryce Harper. He’s still doing Bryce Harper things—batting .266 with 15 homers, and he’s been contributing consistently, including a home run on Saturday.
As for the Yankees, they’re countering with Carlos Rodón, who has a 10–7 record and a 3.10 ERA. Solid numbers, no doubt, but he’s coming off a tough outing against Toronto where he gave up four runs—two of those earned—in five innings. Without Judge in the lineup, New York will be leaning heavily on Paul Goldschmidt to carry the offense. He’s batting .287 and has eight home runs on the season, plus a decent history against the Phillies.
From a betting perspective, Philadelphia is the slight favorite at -135 on the money line, while the over/under for total runs is set at 7.5. According to SportsLine’s computer model, which simulated the game 10,000 times, there’s a strong lean toward the Over—projecting around 9.3 total runs. The model also favors one side of the money line, but you'll have to check their site to get the exact pick.
First pitch was delayed slightly but is now set for 2 p.m. ET. Whether you're tuning in on NBC Sports Philadelphia or streaming it through Fubo, Hulu, or MLB.TV, it should be a fun one. Let’s see if the Phillies can pull off the sweep—or if the Yankees finally punch back.
