MLB Premium Play 07/20: Philadelphia Phillies @ New York Mets

MLB - 901 Philadelphia Phillies @ 902 New York Mets

(Starting Pitchers: C. Hamels vs Z. Wheeler)

Philadelphia will start Cole Hamels today and he has been amazing on his last three outings by going deep in all of them (7, 8 and 8ip) and allowing just 2, 1 and 1 earned runs. His command was also great in these outings with a combined of 19/1 K/BB ratio! Hamels faced the Mets prior to these outings that turned his season around and he struggled with four earned runs allowed in six innings. Now that he is in good form, I expect Hamels to dominate the Mets today.

Zack Wheeler is coming from two wins where he allowed just one earned run on each outing, but his control has been terrible with 5/3 K/BB at San Francisco and 3/3 K/BB at Milwaukee! Wheeler's command has been really poor this season with a 1.31 K/BB ratio this season and so, I can expect Philadelphia to end up punishing Wheeler's poor control in here sooner or later. 

Philadelphia is now carrying some good momentum and they are now one game above 0.500 for the first time this season! They have a tremendous SP edge on this contest and so, I expect them to pick up a comfortable win today.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 901 Philadelphia Phillies ML (w/ C. Hamels) @ -140 / 1.71 on 5Dimes
