Zach Wheeler has been making a CY Young case for himself this season. He has allowed only 1 earned run in his last 13 innings pitched, and hasn’t allowed more than 3 earned runs in a start since April 23rd. The Rangers rank 22nd in batting average against right handed pitching and 21st in batting average at home overall. The Phillies score the 3rd most runs on the road this season and are coming off back-to-back shutout losses which should fire them up.

If there is one thing the law of averages suggest about today, it’s that the Phillies will score. It’s highly unlikely to be held scoreless for an entire series and this team was recently on a tear.
The Phillies are a top 10 ranked team in both runs per game, batting average and hits per game. The Rangers are in the bottom half of the league in all categories. With Wheeler on the mound for the entire first half of the game I am a lot more confident about this play. As mentioned he has been sharper than ever and he is the focal point of this Phillies rotation.
Lock in Philadelphia first half this afternoon and enjoy some early action!
