Philadelphia Phillies (51-47) vs. Pittsburgh Pirates (40-58) Prop Bets
I did not want to write another article about Zack Wheeler…. Actually, yes I did. I am sure you have noticed, I am quite the believer in Wheeler, so I have to attack this Pirates matchup.
Zack is in a bit of a lull with strikeouts. He has 5, 5, 4, and 6 K in his last 4 starts. I know sometimes backing a guy who has gone under in 4 straight can be a little unsettling, but s ometimes it does us a favor. It makes the books set lower lines, and creates chances like we see today. Had Zack been on a good stretch like he was earlier in the season where he had 7+ in 10/11 games, we would likely see a 7.5 line. It's a classic buy low scenario today.
