Why The Phillies Could Cover The Spread

Wheeler is having a pretty good season, but he is even better on the road. On the road this season, Wheeler is 6-3 with a 3.24 ERA. Opponents hit just .237 off him when he pitches away from home. Only five of the home runs he has given up have come away from home. He is clearly a better pitcher on the road. This game is at a neutral site, but it is still away from home. The Nationals do not hit for a lot of power, so Wheeler has a good matchup in this one. If he can continue to pitch well, the Phillies will cover the spread.

The Phillies are facing a struggling pitcher in this one. They have seen Williams three times, and they have been able to have success. They have scored at least three runs off him in each of the three games they have faced him. In those three games, the Phillies have hit seven home runs off him. If the Phillies can continue hitting well, they will cover this spread.

Why The Nationals Could Cover The Spread

The Nationals have faced Wheeler three times this season. They were able to get to him twice. In those two games, the Nationals scored four runs in five innings, and seven runs in 3 2/3 innings. They have seen him, they are used to him, and they should be able to get to him again. If the Nationals can continue to hit against Wheeler, they will be able to cover the spread.
