Zack Wheeler gets the start, entering with a 9-5 record and 2.64 ERA. He’s logged 16 quality starts this year and regularly works deep into games, giving the Phillies’ improved bullpen a lighter workload.

The Rangers remain in the AL playoff hunt but struggled in the opener, scoring just once in the first inning before being shut out the rest of the way. Merrell Kelly’s rocky debut hurt, as he gave up four runs and five walks.
Patrick Corbin will start for Texas. He’s 6-7 with a 3.91 ERA, but recent outings have been short, failing to pitch six full innings in his last five starts, including just 4.2 innings last time out.
MatchPlug Prediction for Philadelphia Phillies vs Texas Rangers
With Wheeler in form and the Phillies’ offense firing, Philadelphia has the upper hand. Expect them to pressure Corbin early, get into the Rangers’ bullpen, and control the game from there.
