The Philadelphia Phillies may have not shown up for their trip into the desert vs the lowly Diamondbacks. Arizona has won the first two games of this series. I think that will serve as a wake-up call as the Phillies don't want to face the embarrassment of getting swept here. I like the Phillies here for a lot of reasons, and one is Zack Wheeler. Wheeler has pitched very well after a slow start. The Phillies are 12-5 in his last 17 starts. The bottom line is the 17 starts by Wheeler have limited opponents to fewer than three runs per contest in the 17 game stretch. Make the play on Philadelphia.
