Take #921 Phillies over D-Backs
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Arizona,
Money Line: -124.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Win
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies each used eight pitchers in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Friday, a contest won by the Diamondbacks behind a three-run, eighth-inning rally. With so many arms needed in Arizona's 6-5 victory that tied the best-of-seven series at two wins apiece, both managers are counting on their aces to come through with lengthy performances on Saturday in Game 5. The Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen (17-9, 3.47 ERA regular season; 2-1, 4.96 postseason) will oppose the Phillies' Zack Wheeler (13-6, 3.61 regular season; 2-0, 2.37) in a matchup of right-handers. Wheeler got the win in Game 1 win against Arizona after permitting two runs on three hits in six innings, with eight strikeouts and no walks. In 11 career regular-season starts against the Diamondbacks, Wheeler is 6-3 with a 2.96 ERA. The Phillies had last night's game locked down until Kimbrel blew it, and we think they bounce back here tonight. Let's roll with the Phillies.
