“Phillies’ Wheeler Poised for a Pitching Masterclass Against Marlins”
The Phillies are pretty much the exact opposite of the Marlins. They have seen success in virtually every season for like 20 years. I know I am exaggerating, but the franchise has clearly invested in players and fielded winning clubs more often than not. Philadelphia has a lineup of mashers, and just good overall hitters. Their defense is solid enough, and they seem to play the game the right way. Their pitching staff isn’t the best in the league, but they have quality arms that keep them in games. One of which is the annual Cy Young candidate, Zack Wheeler. Wheeler rolls out to the mound today for his fifth start of the season. He has gone 1-1 with a 4.07 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. The concern for him is that he has allowed a home run in every game this season. His first two starts were quality starts, and then his past two were a little rough, allowing nine earned runs in 11.1 innings. Wheeler hasn’t been extraordinary against the Marlins, but he’s only allowed two extra base hits of the 11 hits off of him in 39 at-bats.ÂÂ
