Phillies vs Rangers Prediction
Philadelphia rolls into this contest after winning five of their last six games and they are looking for the series sweep here. The Phillies are 30-28 on the road this year, while the Rangers are 36-23 at home. Texas has scored just seven runs in their last four games and they are facing Wheeler, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in three of his last five starts. Texas is starting Corbin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. This Texas offense is really struggling right now, but Corbin has pitched well and I think gives them a chance to win at plus money. Take the Rangers.
