00:00really hefty price in favor of Philly greater than two bills minus 215 because Zach Wheeler

00:06is on the mound tonight over understands at nine is Philly deserving of being such a strong

00:12favorite with Wheeler on the bump against San Diego yes they are and also waiting to see if

00:18Bryce Harper is going to return tonight but the expectations were once that Atlanta series was

00:21done it's on a night-to-night basis whether he's going to return from that injury here to his wrist

00:26now the updates to that it is still a little bit stiff but there's no pain left in there which is

00:29a good spot so it's just a matter of I guess him getting back into the lineup which the

00:33expectations could be again he could be back tonight and that could be a big lift here let's

00:36understand this this is a massive a massive pitching mismatch tonight between Waldron heading in there

00:42against Zach Wheeler that's why I have the heavy favorite but also understand this you'll be as

00:46heavy favorite as you want look at the starting pitching at the Phillies have got basically just

00:50the last week and a half and how dominant it's been if you only score one to two runs a game it doesn't

00:55matter who your starting pitcher is because the other team just has to scrape out two or three to

00:59be in this ball game so a runaway victory for the Philadelphia Phillies I don't think is in the

01:03cards but understand this as well whether or not Bryce Harper's back into the lineup the Phillies

01:08still should hit Matt Waldron like you take a look he hasn't pitched in Major League Baseball this

01:12season he's not a very good pitcher to begin with and his minor league pitching here eight starts in

01:16the minors a 5.04 ERA which also means he was in between triple a double a and rookie ball putting up those

01:25stats and sometimes say okay he's back in full put him up in the majors his last start two and two

01:31thirds in two and two yes two and two thirds innings pitched in his last minor league start five earned runs and he gave up a

01:37home run so it's not as if he's coming up like hey four straight starts didn't give up a run in the minors he got

01:41torch in his last start then you go into Philadelphia wind blowing out the center field muggy conditions

01:47his first pitch of 85 plus degrees the Phillies should win this game do I love the minus 215 no I

01:53don't do I love the Phillies offense right now no I don't but pedigree pitchers I worry about against

01:58the Phillies Waldron is not a pedigree pitcher they should hit him tonight a team total should be in

02:03place and if you're looking for maybe a parlay piece I would be really surprised if the Phillies

02:07lost that ball game today against the pods
