James Shields shut down the slumping Philadelphia Phillies and David Price got the final seven outs, pitching the -179 favored Tampa Bay Rays to a 4-2 victory Thursday night that tied the World Series at 1-1.

The Phillies are now 1-for-28 with runners in scoring position, and if that does not change at home Philadelphia is in trouble.

ALCS MVP Matt Garza is scheduled to pitch for Tampa Bay on Saturday against 45-year-old Jamie Moyer, making his World Series debut.

Can a Tampa Bay club that is 5-3 at home in the postseason after going a major league-best 57-24 at their stadium during the season finish off the World Series away from Tropicana Field? Get your World Series odds in the Bodog Sportsbook today.

If the Phillies cannot find some clutch hitting in their own ballpark, the odds keep getting better and better for Rays backers.
