Caesar’s / FanDuel. Ryan Weathers has really struggled of late, pitching to a 6.00 ERA over his last nine starts while staying under this line in each of his last four outings (and 11/19 overall). Injury plagued throughout his career, Weathers is already at his highest innings output since 2023, and fatigue is likely setting in for the lefty. With a rested bullpen, and following a dominant Cam Schlittler performance last night, look for a quick hook on Weathers if he struggles early tonight.
Bit of a confusing number for me. Is Aaron Judge back for the Yankees? Nope. We are getting the Phils at a pretty generous +1.5 number at home because it's rookie Brian Keller (at age 32!! Good for you Crash Davis, never give up on that dream) expected to make his big-league debut either as the opener or bulk guy. But it's not like New York's Ryan Weathers (3-7, 4.40 ERA) is all that great and has been rocked in two of his past three. So, yeah, I'd still favor Philly at home so will take this gift.
Before joining the Phillies organization, Brian Keller spent six years climbing through the New York Yankees’ minor league system. He has put together a strong minor league resume, posting a 3.11 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 616 strikeouts over 593 2/3 innings. This year, Keller has continued to impress, pitching to a 2.09 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and recording 41 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings. Ryan Weathers has a 4.40 ERA and a 4.56 expected ERA. He has already logged a career-high 102 1/3 innings this season. The Phillies have fared well against Weathers in the past, hitting .368 with a 1.426 OPS in 36 career at-bats. Kyle Schwarber is 3-for-6 with a double and two home runs. I like the home dog in this spot.
