Really, really hope we get the props availability of a pitcher to earn a win here soon as Zack Wheeler is -170 at DraftKings and I hugely prefer that. But not quite yet so this will have to do. By the way, the books are not offering a Martin Maldonado hits prop. Think we finally broke them. That's fine, when I'm in St. Croix in a few months spending my Marty Under 0.5 hits money at the swim-up pool bar, I'll toast him.

Friday, we paid the juice and took the Phillies to win on the moneyline. They won 7-0. Saturday’s moneyline has more juice than Tropicana, so we’ll play this instead. The Phillies will start their ace Zack Wheeler, who has a 1.04 WHIP and 30 strikeouts over 24 innings. The White Sox will start Michael Soroka, who has a 1.76 WHIP and has given up at least four runs in three of his four outings. The Phillies should win this in convincing fashion.

Soon we might have to be laying 2.5 runs on the Run Line in games involving the Chisox, who were just blanked for the seventh time (sheesh!) in their first nineteen games (double sheesh!) last night by the Phils. Having bunched more than half of their runs (19) in three games, it is forcing starting pitchers to toss shutouts to even have a chance; Michael Soroka, on the mound Saturday and with a 6.98 ERA, appears unlikely to clear that high bar. Zack Wheeler is overdue for this first win of the year on the Phils side, and if this series is the mismatch we believe it to be, Wheeler won't get a better chance than tonight. Play Phillies on Run Line

It had to be a kick in the guys for a hapless and hopeless White Sox team to be woefully out of Fri night game after about 3 innings despite having the only starting pitcher who gives them half a prayer on the mound. The Phillies' bats are heating up and they should have fun knocking Mike Soroka around their tiny little ballpark. Soroka's 14% walk rate is a problem. Chicago is going to get swept a lot this summer
