After starting hot, the Phillies jumped up two games in the best-of-seven series but were cooled down by the Diamondbacks winning two in a row. After splitting the last two matchups, game seven will decide which team will earn a spot and faceoff against the Texas Rangers in the 2023 Major League Baseball (MLB) World Series.

Game Lines For The 2023 NLCS

18 and up MLB betting sites indicate that the Phillies have a slight advantage going into the win-or-go-home matchup in Philadelphia. After putting 28 runs on the board to their opponents 17 in the NLCS through six games, it is obvious why the Phillies are giving the advantage. 

Below is the current game line for game seven of the NLCS. 

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies

• Runline: +1.5 (-135), -1.5 (+115)

With future odds, it is best to place your bets early, as the future odds are always more favorable before and at the start of the season.

Now that only three teams could win the 2023 World Series, the odds are less profitable, but you can still win money. Below are the current futures going into game seven of the NLCS.

Texas Rangers Coming In Hot

After winning the American League Championship Series (ALCS) in game seven against the Houston Astros, a lot of fans are betting on Texas. The Texas Rangers have been hitting the ball exceptionally well this postseason, and after putting up a total of 20 runs in their last two games, they will likely be favored to win game one of the World Series. 

Game lines for the upcoming World Series matchup will become available after the conclusion of the NLCS. 

In 2020, the Dodgers finally won the World Series for the first time since the 1988 season, back when Oral Hershiser used to take the mound, ending their World Series losing-streak and bringing some chants of powerhouse back to LA. While winning the World Series is an outstanding achievement, some critics will be quick to point out that the “Coronavirus” season may have played a part in their success. 

Last year the league was thrown in limbo due to the world-wide pandemic, but the MLB was able to play with a shorter schedule. In 2020, teams played just 60 games instead of the regular 162 game schedule, knocking off a huge chunk of the season grind. 

The 2021 season is already causing some concern, with some franchise owners wanting to delay the season until the coronavirus vaccine becomes more widely available. Spring training is currently scheduled to begin in early February for most teams. 

Betting on the MLB has already begun with online sportsbooks offering future odds for the 2021 World Series. Below are the current pre-season odds provided by Bovada’s Sportsbook. 

Odds to win the 2021 World Series:

• Los Angeles Dodgers +400
  
• New York Yankees +700
  
• Atlanta Braves +1100
  
• San Diego Padres +1100
  
• New York Mets +1200
  
• Tampa Bay Rays +1200
