Philadelphia Phillies at Minnesota Twins Preview & Picks

Philadelphia are tipped to avenge last night's loss in Minnesota.

The Phillies have been in bad form since the season resumed, but Zach Wheeler is getting the start here and he has been outstanding in his last 4 starts.

  • Philadelphia pitcher Zach Wheeler is 10-4 with a 2.70 ERA
  • Zach Wheeler has allowed 2 runs or less in his last 5 starts
  • Philadelphia have covered -1.5 in 10 of the 11 wins that Zach Wheeler has played in
  • The 2 starting pitchers have a combined 6.21 ERA

Head To Head

  • Minnesota Twins lead the regular season series 1-0
  • Minnesota Twins won 7-2 when the two teams met last night

Philadelphia Phillies Form

Philadelphia entered this series on the back of a victory, but having lost two of their first three games after the All-Star break.

The Phillies blew hot and cold in the final couple of weeks before the mid-season pause, starting with a series in Atlanta where they failed to build on an 8-6 win, losing 5-1 and 6-0.

They then returned home to host the Los Angeles Dodgers and were able to sweep the visitors in a three-game series, winning 10-1, 4-3 and 5-1.

Philadelphia failed to back that up against Oakland though, sandwiching an 11-5 victory with 6-2 and 18-3 defeats before the break.

The Phillies then resumed their season with 8-7 and 4-1 defeats in Pittsburgh, but they avoided being swept as they took the final encounter 6-0.

Minnesota Twins Form

Minnesota came into this series having lost back-to-back games since the regular season resumed.

The Twins enjoyed a decent run in early July as they beat Houston 9-3 and 3-2 at home before heading to Chicago to beat the White Sox 8-6.

They lost the second meeting 3-1, only to rebound later that day and beat the White Sox in the series finale, 3-2.

Minnesota then travelled to San Francisco for their final series before the All-Star break, and suffered 7-1 and 3-2 defeats either side of a 4-2 victory.

The Twins returned to action with a home series last weekend, but in a disappointing two-game showdown with Milwaukee they were beaten 8-4 and 8-7.

Verdict

Philadelphia need a response and turning to Zach Wheeler is backed to be a smart move.

He has been in strong form this season and in his recent outings he has been lights out, so give us the Phillies in this one.
