Philadelphia has scored three runs in its last four games, all losses, and that slide has turned a comfortable Wild Card position into a final-day scramble. The Phillies clinch with a win today, or if Arizona loses in San Diego. Zack Wheeler gets the ball, and Philadelphia is 19-8 in his starts. His 3.06 ERA and 1.06 WHIP come with 188 strikeouts. He struck out 11 Milwaukee hitters in his last start, after seven scoreless innings at Washington the time before. Tampa Bay scored 12 yesterday, but Aaron Nola was gone after one inning and most of that damage came against the bullpen. Nick Martinez starts for the Rays with a 2.94 ERA and only 25 walks in 177.1 innings. He doesn't give away free runners, and he's facing a lineup that has scored three runs or fewer in ten of its last 13 games. Tampa Bay already has the AL's top seed wrapped up. I'm on the UNDER this afternoon.
