Phillies have a nice starting rotation, but their ace is Zach Wheeler, which is why he’s the second favorite right now to win the National League Cy Young Award. Phillies visiting the twins this week, and it’s hard not to bet on Wheeler every time he gets on the bump. Now, I will say the Phillies have lost two of his last five starts. So there is reason that sometimes he gets touched up a little bit, but he’s been lights out in his last four starts. Did give up eight earned, but that was at Baltimore. That lineup is potent.
Shut down the Dodgers lineup, all things considered, and then he mows down some of the other lineups. So I’m all about Wheeler backing him. Now the moneyline’s the great equalizer as we know, but this twins team is shaky. They’ve been nice for stretches, so they’re either on fire or cold. But I think you have to roll with Wheeler and the Fightin Phills
