New York Yankees vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’ll go with the Phillies. Wheeler should be able to set the table pretty well here. In his last three starts combined Wheeler is 1-0 with three earned in 18.0 total innings. He’s coming off 7.0 clean frames in a no-decision versus the Twins.
On Sunday the Phillies had a 3-0 lead early in the game but couldn’t score after the third inning. Overall the pitching wasn’t horrible. That said, Philly used a ton of arms (six) to get through the finale. Philadelphia needs a rebound Monday.
