Key Stats
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies are projected to send Zack Wheeler to the mound for today’s game. Wheeler went 13-6 last year with a 3.61 ERA and 212 strikeouts in 32 games. J.T. Realmuto leads the team with a .286 batting average, while Bryson Stott carries an OBP of .389. Bryce Harper has a team-high three home runs and six RBIs, while Kyle Schwarber has collected six hits.
Cincinnati Reds
Frankie Montas is the probable starting pitcher for the Reds today. Montas is 1-0 this season with a 0.00 ERA and four strikeouts. Spencer Steer leads the team with a .474 batting average, nine hits, and an OBP of .524. Nick Martini has smashed two home runs and drove in eight RBIs.
Game Prediction
The Reds let me down yesterday, but credit is due to Bryce Harper, who hit three home runs in the game. I don’t see the Phillies performing like they did yesterday with Frankie Montas on the mound for today’s game. Zack Wheeler is coming off a solid season last year, and the Reds will also struggle at the plate in this one. Picking a winner is nearly impossible, but with two solid pitchers, runs will be hard to come by.
Final Pick
Under 7.5 Total Runs (-108)
