The Phillies Are Ready To Roll And FYI Zack Wheeler's O/U Strikeouts Being Set At 4.5 Is BLASPHOMOUS

FEED ME THE FIGHTINS IN RED OCTOBER. 11 years. 3 presidencies. And today, we Ring The Bell. Win 1 of hopefully 13 is on the way vs the Cardinals in Busch Stadium and I'll be honest, the Phillies match up well against St. Louis. REAL well. The Phillies hold a 4-3 season series advantage over the Cardinals and hold a sub 3.00 ERA vs. St. Louis. For comparison, against the Braves and Mets that figure hovers around 6.00. So, yeah, thank you good sirs for the #3 seed. The Phillies are sending Wheeler, Nola, and Ranger out there for the three games compared to Quintana, Miles Mikolas and then presumably an up and down Montgomery or certified no-longer-sure-ace Jack Flaherty for Game 3. We're talking about some real winnable shit here. Right now the Phillies are +105 (down from +125) to take down the series on the Barstool Sportsbook. 

And it's down to -109 for each team today. The Phillies can really do this. Shit, they SHOULD do this. Especially with Wheeler and Nola starting the first two games. 

Speaking of Zack Wheeler making his postseason debut: 

HIS OVER/UNDER FOR STRIKEOUTS IS 4.5K's!!! BLASHPHAMY, I TELLS YA! BLASHPHAMY INDEED! Seriously tho, 4.5k's? For one of the most dominant strikeout pitchers in the game? I know playoffs sometimes means quick hooks, but unless Wheeler really sharts himself early he should be going 5+ today. And that's being REAL conservative with him. So, yeah, responsibly yammer Zack punching out o4.5 batters. Or just take our Philly boost for this game and ride into the night with a lovely +425 bink. Responsibly. 

Seriously tho if you're planning on betting on the Phillies at -109 to win they're most likely going to need to have Wheeler K over 5 guys and Bryce get a hit, anyways. Midas Whale get that value.
