Phillies vs. Braves Game 2: Wheeler vs. Fried, Betting Odds
Transcript
00:00 tonight for Philly. It is that
00:05 faces off against Max Freed,
00:06 the Braves, the R.S. North of a
00:07 dollar and a half favorite on
00:09 the money line. What is your
00:11 expectation for game number two
00:13 in Atlanta? Much more of the
00:15 same like game number one,
00:16 which means we're not going to
00:17 get a ton of scoring here, I
00:19 believe because we have two
00:20 fantastic pitchers that are on
00:22 the mound tonight. If we look
00:23 at the four pitchers on the car
00:24 today and of course it takes in
00:26 account the second game that
00:27 we'll talk about the Dodgers
00:28 and the Arizona Diamondbacks
00:29 and the 60 days, which we're
00:30 just going back to August 1st
00:32 actually has the best X FIP on
00:33 the card of 3.06. Now, Wheeler
00:36 is actually the fourth listed
00:37 picture on the card tonight,
00:39 but that's a 3.82. So certainly
00:41 a minimum there between those,
00:42 but you have to take a look at
00:44 an all hands on deck approach
00:45 tonight for the Atlanta Braves.
00:46 You can't go down 02 and go
00:48 back to Philadelphia, hoping to
00:49 win those two games and then
00:50 come back to Atlanta and win a
00:52 game number five. So the
00:53 pressure is going to be ramped
00:54 up, but who better than to be
00:55 on the road on full rest than
00:57 Zach Wheeler to get the
00:58 basketball who didn't look
00:59 frazzled at all in his opening
01:01 start against the Marlins in
01:02 the wildcard round. If I'm
01:04 looking at this game overall,
01:05 do I think the Phillies have a
01:06 legitimate chance to win? Of
01:07 course I do. They just took
01:08 down Spencer Strider with
01:10 Rangers Suarez on the mound. So
01:12 when you have your ace on the
01:13 mound, you think you're going
01:13 to get an honest effort out of
01:15 him and there you go away. You
01:16 go into the six, seven and
01:17 eighth inning in maybe your
01:18 upper runner to or down a run
01:20 or two, but still being in the
01:21 ball game. The only question
01:22 for me tonight is how the
01:23 Phillies bats are going to
01:24 react to get another left
01:26 handed pitcher. That's going to
01:27 be on the mound. That seemed to
01:28 be the mo neutralized those
01:30 power left handed bats for the
01:31 Philadelphia Phillies and try
01:33 to get after the right handers.
01:34 Freed has been absolutely
01:35 successful in left handed and
01:37 right handed batter
01:38 combinations. That's what I'm
01:39 looking for. So do I think
01:41 either team can win tonight?
01:42 Yes. Am I rooting for my
01:43 Phillies? Absolutely. I think
01:45 the better bet on the card
01:46 tonight as you see that graphic
01:47 is the total under eight. It
01:49 takes nine to beat you tonight.
01:50 If one of these two teams are
01:51 hammering away at these two
01:53 aces, then so be it. But I just
01:55 look for another game to be
01:56 out just like we saw in game number one.
