Phillies vs Mets: Pitching preview
Zack Wheeler (7-3, 2.23 ERA) vs Kutter Crawford (2-5, 3.51 ERA)
Zack Wheeler is back on the mound this evening to face a Red Sox side ranking 9th in batting average but only 27th over their last 3 games. Wheeler has been nothing short of sensational this season and has allowed 2 runs or less in each of his last 4 starts, going at least 6 innings in each.
Across from the Cy Young front-runner will be Kutter Crawford, who has struggled in recent weeks. He’s allowed 5+ runs in each of his last 3 games, all of which have been losses. The Phils’ offense has been one of the hottest in Baseball and if there is ever a group to sniff blood in the water, it’s this one.
Phillies vs Red Sox: Betting preview
The Phillies are favored to win this one and they should do comfortably barring any real surprises. The Red Sox offense remains inconsistent and with a slightly concerning run of form from Crawford, facing an elite pitcher and explosive offense could be a recipe for disaster.
The only saving grace here is that the Phillies could well be fatigued after a trip to London. Prior to that, they bounced around the U.S on a run of road trips and while they’ve handles business relatively well, there is a slim chance that it catches up to them.
As a result, I’m going to back the UNDER here. Kutter is better than his recent games suggest which should limit some damage and it allows for a little breathing room for a Philadelphia team that have been running non-stop in recent weeks.
Betting pick: UNDER 8
Prop bet fun
I like David Dahl to record a hit tonight at -220. He’s only appeared in limited action for the Phillies so far but has shined against both the Brewers and Mets. Banking on a 3rd homer might be expecting a lot, but there’s at least reason to believe he can ride this wave of confidence.
