It’s a slower day in baseball today with only 7 games happening, but there’s plenty of day baseball. In fact, 4 of the games take place before 6 PM. Even with a limited slate, I found 2 props that you should lock in before the action kicks off.
Zack Wheeler (PHI) to record the win (-130)
The Phillies are the biggest favorite on the board tonight. At DraftKings, you can get their moneyline price for an egregious -278. That's not a price I'm willing to pay, so I pivoted to a different market. Zack Wheeler will get the nod for the Phillies which is the primary reason for Philadelphia being such heavy favorites, and the price for him to record the win is a reasonable -130. That looks like an even better price when considering DraftKings has Philadelphia's first 5 innings moneyline price set at -315. That means oddsmakers are pretty confident that the Phillies will be winning entering the second half of the game, and all Wheeler needs to do to record a win is pitch at least 5 innings and leave the game with the Phillies winning and not give up the lead. I'm expecting the Philadelphia offense to jump on Mitchell Parker early and not look back since they rank 5th in OPS and 6th in wRC+ against left-handed pitching since Jun e 1.
