This is a pivotal game for the Phillies’ playoff chances as a win would put them within 1.5 games of the Braves while a loss would drop them 3.5 games back with five to go. Wheeler has pitched extremely well this season, leading the NL in innings pitched and strikeouts as the anchor of the Phillies’ rotation.

Wheeler has OWNED Atlanta this year – in four starts, he’s allowed a grand total of four runs, while lasting at least seven full innings three times. Wheeler has been dominant throughout September: three runs allowed in four starts combined, with the Phillies going 4-0 in those games.

The Phillies are treating this as a playoff game and they look to stay in the playoff picture. Philadelphia has won each of Wheeler’s last five starts while the Braves have dropped five of Morton’s last six outings. Look for the Phillies to come up with the road win on Tuesday night!
