San Francisco had their chance - now the Phillies have their's.

The Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants are set to meet Saturday afternoon in game 6, a game that starts at 7:30pm ET.  Philly are losing in the series 3-2 but now they have home field advantage back and all they need to do to make the World Series, and win it, is win their home games.

Texas are already waiting the winner of the NLCS and while they'll probably say that they don't care who they face in the World Series, Philadelphia are a better team and Texas would have a better chance to beat San Francisco in the Fall Classic.

Today's game from Philadelphia features an attractive pitching match-up between Philadelphia's Roy Oswalt and San Francisco's Jonathan Sanchez.

Oddsmakers have favored the Phillies in the game but arguably not sharply enough.  Ladbrokes put the price tag on the Phillies at -160 and they also have the best odds on the Giants at +150.

Playing in Philadelphia, where the Phillies were the second toughest home team in the NL during the regular season, and with Oswalt a better pitcher than Sanchez you have to give the Phillies about a 70% chance of winning Saturday's game.

Ladbrokes' price of -160 is a good value bet as the Phillies look more like -225 favorites based on home field advantage and stronger starting pitching.
