Rays vs. Phillies Prediction: Wednesday, September 11th

This matchup features a fearsome pitcher's duel tonight as Shane Baz and Zack Wheeler are set to square off on the mound. Wheeler in particular has been one of the best hurlers this MLB season at a record of 14-6 with a 2.59 ERA, but recently, he’s been even better! In his last 7 starts, he has allowed just 8 earned runs over 45 innings of work, and during that time he has collected 51 strikeouts!

On the other end, Shane Baz is coming off a great August and early September as he’s dropped his ERA down to 3.27 and has gone deep into games his last 4 starts – 6 innings or more in 3 of them. Sets us up for quite the pitchers duel tonight and seeing how dominant they’ve both been, I want my MLB best bets today to be in on the under while these two are pitching. So, let’s start with that in the opening 5 innings tonight.

With the game bet out of the way, let’s key in on the pitchers as the above paragraph backs some props in a big way! Wheeler, as said, is well over a strikeout per inning this season and the Rays bats hold a K-rate of 25.1% on the road. That is the 8th highest rate in MLB this season, so catch me placing my MLB best bets today on Wheeler to go over 7.5 strikeouts tonight at plus money.

In addition to Wheeler, I will be taking Baz to go over his strikeouts as well with the number sitting at just 4.5 for tonight. Baz has totaled at least 5 Ks in 7 of 10 starts this season and I like the trends to continue tonight.
