When it comes to betting on tonight’s Phillies vs. Diamondbacks picks, adopting a contrarian approach might just be your best bet – or bets.
Rather than following the herd, consider leveraging insights from various PRO Systems – backtested betting trends based on historical data available to subscribers.
One of the key principles from these systems is to fade the public in various spots. This means analyzing collected samples of betting data, such as tickets and money, to identify where the majority is placing their bets. Interestingly, higher emphasis is given to the betting money data rather than merely the volume of tickets, as it tends to reveal stronger and more informed bets.
For tonight’s Phillies vs. Diamondbacks picks, systems identified two key areas to exploit: the over/under and the runline. Philadelphia is favored in the opener, with an over/under set at 8.5.
Now, let’s delve deeper into our contrarian picks for Friday’s intriguing MLB game.
Phillies vs. Diamondbacks Over/Under, Runline Predictions Friday
Phillies vs. Diamondbacks Over/Under Prediction: Fade the Public Friday
The first pick concerns the over/under market.
According to the “Contrarian Unders for Winning Teams” PRO System, betting the under in games between two winning MLB teams can be particularly profitable, especially when at least 66% of the betting tickets favor the over.
This strategy has shown a 54% success rate historically. In tonight’s game, an overwhelming 99% of the money is currently on the over for the Phillies-Diamondbacks. Given this heavy public sentiment towards the over, this represents a prime opportunity to take a contrarian stance and wager on the under.

Phillies vs. Diamondbacks Runline Prediction Friday: Take the Underdog
The second contrarian pick focuses on the runline, specifically betting on the Diamondbacks at +1.5.
This is guided by our “Contrarian Runline Against Elite Teams” PRO System. The anglee suggests betting against the majority on the spread, particularly in games featuring elite teams in non-divisional matchups. Such scenarios often see inflated confidence in the stronger team, thereby creating value on the opposing side.
For tonight’s game, 90% of the money is backing the Phillies -1.5 on the runline. This overwhelming support for Philadelphia to cover creates a contrarian opportunity to bet on the Diamondbacks to keep the game close, or even win outright, by taking them at +1.5.
