Both Phillies and Rays had the day off yesterday, Phills were already in Miami so no far travel for either team. Yarborough has been solid his last 2 starts have both been quality and he seems to be making strides in his 3rd year. Wheeler has been by far the best pitcher for the Phillies this year being completely dominant over his last 4 starts with a 2/37 bb/k over 29.1 innings in that span.
Phillies banged up on offense, no Harper, no Realmuto, no Gregorious. Their run support has been lackluster to say the least. Rays definitely have better bats and fielding atm.
Although Yarborough has been quality his last two he also has given up 6 solo HRs on those 2 games. HRs are the Phillies saving grace and generally how they try to produce runs.
Lineups not out yet obv but because of injuries it's pretty obvious who will be in there at least for the Phillies, and what I see is their splits for HRs against lefties is pretty solid. Look for Nick Maton to have a strong game against a fellow lefty. Both teams will have bullpens rested and imo that helps Philadelphia more on account of them having less quality arms out of the pen, so Suarez, Alvarado, and Neris will be available.
Wheeler has been known in the past to be on or off, have it or not. This young season though he has shown more consistency than in a very long time, at the price I can't pass him.
I bet in $100 units and I've bet 5 units on the Phillies @ +102
