00:00a lot of interleague intrigue this weekend around major league baseball but also some good divisional
00:05matchups that we have in philadelphia what an ace affair we have on this friday night in the bank
00:12zach wheeler and the phils greater than a two dollar favorite on that money line at minus 220
00:17but on the other side sandy alcantara and the miami marlins come to town this weekend over
00:23understands at seven and a half drs how does the series start tonight in philly if you just
00:29reading lines that's a philadelphia line because as you stated zach wheeler is one of the best
00:33pitchers in major league baseball but sandy alcantara certainly has the ability to be a top end start
00:37and has been that in the past prior to his injury a little bit of a slower start to him this season
00:424.70 era 3.94 x which isn't terrible but you're really handicapping this game based on what zach
00:49wheeler is supposed to do to the lineup for the miami marlins because we look at the phillies lineup
00:52against let's just say any right-handed pitcher this year it's been very good and just based on
00:57bryson stott all the way through jt real muto which is the first seven batters in the lineup
01:01high iso power numbers and weighted on base percentage and limited strikeouts and increased
01:05walk rate which should help you there and i'm saying alcantara is a very good pitcher but the
01:09question again is the marlins lineup and what do you get out of it like zach wheeler has struggled
01:13at times with right-handed batters but xavier edwards jesus sanchez conor norby stowers mervis
01:18lopez conan hicks and hill it's a terrible lineup for the marlins maybe the most least talented lineup
01:23in baseball outside of let's just say the chicago white socks on a night-to-night basis so there's
01:28that price point that you look at hey i'm getting alcantara and i'm getting a plus 188 just sign me
01:32up and i'll see where it is and maybe the phillies bats will continue to struggle i'm on the opposite
01:36side i look at that 220 price and say i don't necessarily want to pay it but i can see it like
01:40what's your worst case scenario today with zach wheeler 66 degrees in the double digit wind blowing
01:45out the center field does help the batters but honestly if you tell me like the marlins max run stay
01:50is three the phillies are going to win this baseball game and that's where i leave that
