Bet Tonight’s Phillies vs. Mets Game
OUR PICK: Wheeler gave up three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over 5 2/3 innings in a win against the Phillies on Wednesday. But he ran out of gas and ended up throwing just 85 pitches before being removed. Since this is a divisional matchup and the Phillies just saw Wheeler last week, this is a good opportunity to grab the underdog versus a New York team that has lost three in a row.
