00:00World Series preview again for the Phils this week as they host the New York Yankees Philadelphia

00:10and Zach Wheeler minus 142 as the home favorites in the opener today against the Pinstripes

00:17Luis don't call him heel on the bump on the other side for New York the over under is

00:23nine.

00:24What is your expectation DRS in the opener today in Philly better picture on the mound

00:29probably can agree would be Zach Wheeler the Philadelphia Phillies here, but the lineup

00:33here for the Phillies needs to get in gear to sort of match what we've been seeing for

00:36the Yankees or at least from yesterday, but if we're looking at temperatures here at Citizens

00:40Bank Park tonight 85 degrees wind blowing out the dead center field about eight to nine

00:44miles an hour.

00:45So we should be able to have the opportunity to get some home runs and the question is

00:49going to be we liked what we saw to Zach Wheeler coming out of that mini break for himself

00:53skipping that final start of the regular season the first part of the regular season then

00:57obviously the all-star break then coming back give it a little bit extra break and

01:00he was fine giving set going seven innings didn't give up any earned runs here.

01:04So if I'm looking at that nine price to be honest the way the Phillies are at the plate

01:08right now feast or famine heels bounced back into form, which you like to see so I'm leaning

01:12more towards an under which is tough with those two lineups in that small ballpark and

01:16just explain to you how the temperatures are but Zach Wheeler should have a very good effort

01:20tonight.

01:21That's the best of the closer coming over should be available for the Phillies today.

01:24That's a full bullpen in the game.

01:25They absolutely must have.

01:27I do think the Phillies are the better side tonight, but not really loving laying a minus

01:30150 price or higher the way the Phillies are at the plate.

01:33So probably a better look under nine, even if that's a hard pill to swallow when you're

01:37looking at these two lineups in this ballpark, I just feel like there's going to be less

01:41runs here.

01:42Maybe a four to three type ballgame when it's all said and done.
