00:00The Phils have been struggling and slumping as of this moment.
00:04Five consecutive L's for the Titans.
00:07Does it come to an end today?
00:09If it does, you're trusting a guy in Zach Wheeler who you would want on the bump in this spot.
00:14Philadelphia, a minus 130 money line favorite, taking on the Chicago Cubs.
00:19Total seven and a half as the Phils return to the bank tonight.
00:23Will the five-game losing streak come to a close in Philadelphia on this Monday evening?
00:27You should be, oh, wait a second.
00:29It's going to be Boyd versus Wheeler.
00:31Where do I sign up?
00:32And also, you're seeing people sign up on the Chicago Cubs.
00:35Not because the Cubs are playing great baseball.
00:36It's just through the fact that the Philadelphia Phillies are terrible right now at the plate.
00:41Last time I saw Zach Wheeler, it feels like three weeks ago.
00:43He 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.
00:49Like, wow, now you're going to throw out Zach Wheeler.
00:51He got shelled in that game.
00:52They need an unbelievable performance.
00:54But what does that mean?
00:55Zach goes seven innings pitch, two in runs, and the Phillies lose two to one?
00:59Because Boyd is on the mound.
01:00The exact kryptonite for the Philadelphia Phillies.
01:02A sloppy left-handed pitcher that just throws strikes like, oh, we can't hit the guy.
01:07You look at Matthew Boyd coming into today, last 30 days, Ben.
01:1029 and a third innings pitch.
01:11How about a 3.38 ERA and a 3.29 exit number?
01:15Forget about Zach Wheeler.
01:16You're looking at a pitcher coming in in good form against the Phillies.
01:20That can't hit anything.
01:21Trey Turner's got sensational numbers against lefties over the past month.
01:24So does Kyle Schwerber.
01:25The rest of the lineup absolutely stinks.
01:28So if you're looking to bet the Chicago Cubs, forget about saying, I want to take the Cubs
01:31in the money line.
01:32Just take the team total under for the Philadelphia Phillies.
01:34Because there's a chance you could lose this game two to one.
01:37You can win this game two to one.
01:38But the Phillies just breaking out of their slump against a left-handed pitcher that's in
01:43good form.
01:44I'm just not buying it.
01:45So that number crashing from the 152s to the mid-130s with Zach Wheeler all the amount at home,
01:50unthinkable.
01:51That's how bad the Phillies are right now.
