Run line/Against the spread
Philadelphia is on a solid roll. Wheeler’s rates around the margins have been unkind but not predictive.
BACK THE PHILLIES -1.5 (-103).
Over/Under
Look for some double-sided pushback from the pitchers in this high-scoring series, which to date has had an Over lean. Look for the pitching to toughen and be joined by a double-digit breeze in batters’ faces.
TAKE THE UNDER 7.5 (-120).
