Money Line: -134.00 Phillies (PHI) (Away)
Result: Loss
The Phillies have the best winning percentage in baseball. The price is low enough to back them and Zack Wheeler against a crippled Braves offense.
The Braves are down three of their best players with Ronald Acuna Jr., Ozzie Albies and now Austin Riley out.
Wheeler is 12-5 with a 2.72 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. Only once in his past nine starts has Wheeler given up more than two earned runs.
Braves starter Reynaldo Lopez was enjoying a nice comeback season. However, he's been on the injured list. This will be his first start since July 28 so he could be rusty while also being on a short leash as he tries to work his way back into shape.
