| (MySportsbook) - Jimmy Rollins is starting to return to his MVP form. The reigning top offensive player from the National League a year ago will try to lead the Philadelphia Phillies closer to a playoff spot tonight in the second portion of a three-game series with the Florida Marlins at Citizens Bank Park. Rollins won the 2007 NL MVP award last year by hitting .296 with 30 homers, 94 RBI and 41 steals, but struggled early this year. He battled an early-season injury and was hitting just .255 on August 24. Howeve |
