Zack Wheeler Looks To Put A Bow On Another Strong Year
7 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler hopes to create some momentum heading into the postseason during Thursday's start versus the crosstown-rival Pittsburgh Pirates. The 33-year-old stalwart brings a 3.64 ERA, 1.07 ERA, and 207:38 K:BB across 188 innings into this favorable spot and his season finale. Not only has Wheeler dominated Pittsburgh for a 4-0 record, 2.13 ERA, and 0.95 WHIP in 38 career innings, but the current Pirates roster is a combined 3-for-31 against him. The All-Star right-hander represents one of the slate's most confident season-long starts, especially considering Wheeler's historical success opposing the Bucs.
