- Analysis
- Zack Wheeler (1-3, 2.30 ERA) is expected to get the start in today's game with the Phillies looking to spark another big run. Despite his sup-par record, he's actually pitched very well so far this season, allowing just eight earned runs in 31.1 innings. Last time out, he went 7.1 shutout innings allowing just three baserunners and striking out eight in his first win of the season. Now, the Phillies bats are starting to wake up as well. Looking at the Reds, Nick Martinez (0-0, 4.77 ERA) is the projected starter. He's been alright so far, but hasn't been all that impressive either. In his last "start," he gave up five earned runs in five innings pitched. Yes, the Phillies will most likely be without Bryce Harper again as he's on paternity leave at the moment. However, even without Harper, I expect the Phillies to get the job done in the series finale on Thursday.
Score Prediction: 6-3 Phillies
