Prop Bets: Philadelphia Phillies VS Pittsburgh Pirates 2025-06-08

The battle of Pennsylvania is on, folks. The Philadelphia Phillies (37-26) are set to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates (24-40) at PNC Park. The Pirates are slight favorites, but don't count out the Phillies just yet.

Paul Skenes will start for the Pirates, while Cristopher Sanchez will take the mound for the Phillies. The Pirates have struggled as moneyline favorites, going 6-12 in those games, while the Phillies have a 50% win rate when set as underdogs of -109 or more.

The current odds have the Pirates at 1.85 and the Phillies at 2.0 on the moneyline. Against the spread, the Phillies are favored at -1.5 with odds of 1.45, while the Pirates are at +1.5 with odds of 2.85. The over/under is set at 6.5, with the over at 1.83 and the under at 2.0.

As for player props, you can bet on the likes of Paul Skenes' strikeout total or Cristopher Sanchez's earned runs allowed. However, those specific props are not available in the provided context.

My prediction? The Phillies will come out on top, 5-4, with the over hitting. But hey, that's just a hunch. Take it for what it's worth. The real question is, will the Pirates' struggles as favorites continue, or will they prove me wrong? Only time will tell.
