00:00And one of the strongest lines, a minus 270 number in favor of Philadelphia with Zach
00:09Wheeler on the bump against the Nats.
00:11The total is 8.
00:12Is the price nearly $3 in favor of the Phytons justified today at the bank?
00:19It is just because of Zach Wheeler's numbers at home, 2-4-8 ERA opposing batters batting
00:24just 187 against them.
00:26He's already faced the Nats this year, going seven innings, allowing just two runs and
00:30three hits.
00:31So the number is right for Zach Wheeler when it comes to him pitching at home this year,
00:36a guy who's second in the Cy Young voting.
00:38And plus, you also have the Phillies going up against left-hander Mitchell Parker.
00:42Yeah, in case you haven't noticed, the Phillies' numbers against lefties this season scored
00:45the second most runs, hit the second most home runs of lefties at home, and they're
00:49top 10 in OPS and WRC Plus at home this season.
00:53Phillies 5-1 against the Nats this year so far, four of those five wins, been by two
00:57runs or more.
00:58The price is right.
