00:00
The Phils have been struggling and slumping as of this moment.
00:04
Five consecutive L's for the Titans.
00:07
Does it come to an end today?
00:09
If it does, you're trusting a guy in Zach Wheeler who you would want on the bump in this spot.
00:14
Philadelphia, a minus 130 money line favorite, taking on the Chicago Cubs.
00:19
Total seven and a half as the Phils return to the bank tonight.
00:23
Will the five-game losing streak come to a close in Philadelphia on this Monday evening?
00:27
You should be, oh, wait a second.
00:29
It's going to be Boyd versus Wheeler.
00:31
Where do I sign up?
00:32
And also, you're seeing people sign up on the Chicago Cubs.
00:35
Not because the Cubs are playing great baseball.
00:36
It's just through the fact that the Philadelphia Phillies are terrible right now at the plate.
00:41
Last time I saw Zach Wheeler, it feels like three weeks ago.
00:43
He got crushed in that final game of the series on a doubleheader day where the Phillies had two wins in their back pocket against the Braves.
00:49
Like, wow, now you're going to throw out Zach Wheeler.
00:51
He got shelled in that game.
00:52
They need an unbelievable performance.
00:54
But what does that mean?
00:55
Zach goes seven innings pitch, two in runs, and the Phillies lose two to one?
00:59
Because Boyd is on the mound.
01:00
The exact kryptonite for the Philadelphia Phillies.
01:02
A sloppy left-handed pitcher that just throws strikes like, oh, we can't hit the guy.
01:07
You look at Matthew Boyd coming into today, last 30 days, Ben.
01:10
29 and a third innings pitch.
01:11
How about a 3.38 ERA and a 3.29 exit number?
01:15
Forget about Zach Wheeler.
01:16
You're looking at a pitcher coming in in good form against the Phillies.
01:20
That can't hit anything.
01:21
Trey Turner's got sensational numbers against lefties over the past month.
01:24
So does Kyle Schwerber.
01:25
The rest of the lineup absolutely stinks.
01:28
So if you're looking to bet the Chicago Cubs, forget about saying, I want to take the Cubs
01:31
in the money line.
01:32
Just take the team total under for the Philadelphia Phillies.
01:34
Because there's a chance you could lose this game two to one.
01:37
You can win this game two to one.
01:38
But the Phillies just breaking out of their slump against a left-handed pitcher that's in
01:43
good form.
01:44
I'm just not buying it.
01:45
So that number crashing from the 152s to the mid-130s with Zach Wheeler all the amount at home,
01:50
unthinkable.
01:51
That's how bad the Phillies are right now.
