00:03 Philly in a tough spot tonight on the road in Atlanta against the Braves,

00:06 the best team in the bigs.

00:08 Atlanta was just swept over the weekend by the Marlins.

00:12 They gave up 36 total runs over three games,

00:15 because maybe Atlanta doesn't really care anymore,

00:18 having already won their sixth consecutive National League East divisional title.

00:23 And DRS, we see a flip, the favored side now with the Phils.

00:27 Minus 116 as Zach Wheeler gets the start tonight in the ATL.

00:31 Do you agree with the movement?

00:33 Do you think this is a big spot for Philly?

00:36 >> Yeah, I think Wheeler's the better pitcher on the mound tonight.

00:38 Kyle Wright, 43 batters on the season.

00:39 He's faced from the left-hand side being a right-handed pitcher.

00:42 How about this, the 312 ISO power number and a 459 weighted on base percentage.

00:46 If we're looking for runs coming from the Philadelphia Phillies,

00:48 look no further than the leadoff batter tonight, Kyle Schwarber.

00:51 How about this, 73 at bats he's had against right-handed pitching

00:54 over the past 30 days in ISO power number of 500.

00:58 Take a look at Trey Turner, 72 at bats against right-handed pitching

01:02 over the past 30 days in ISO power number of 588.

01:06 Then you have Bryce Harper, man, only a 309 ISO power number

01:10 against right-handed pitching over the past 30 days.

01:12 Those three guys should eat at the top of the lineup.

01:14 The Phillies have the better pitcher.

01:16 They should be motivated to win tonight.

01:17 Quite frankly, they need it.

01:19 Atlanta doesn't.

01:20 Doesn't always equate to victories, but if I'm looking at the Philadelphia Phillies,

01:23 I like RBI shots out of the first three guys tonight

01:25 and a Phillies victory here over the Atlanta Braves.
