PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES VS. LOS ANGELES ANGELS Prediction
Patrick Sandoval will take the mound for the Angels and I'm targeting his over 1.5 walks. The Phillies have the sixth-highest walk rate overall at 9.6%, and that increases to 10.7% against left-handed pitchers. Out of the last 13 starting pitchers to face the Phillies, 12 of them have issued 2+ walks.
Sandoval has 2+ walks in five out of his six starts this season, and 21 of his last 26 starts dating back to last year. I'll be pairing his over 1.5 walks with the Phillies moneyline. Sandoval comes into this game with a 6.33 ERA and has really struggled to start the season. Philadelphia has a top 10 offense, and should give him some trouble today.
Wheeler is on the mound for the Phillies, and enters this matchup with a 1.93 ERA after recent dominating performances. The Angels offense ranks 18th in wRC+ (97) against right-handed pitching, and they took a huge blow losing Mike Trout to the injured list. Give me the Phillies to get the win today and generate at least two walks against Patrick Sandoval.
