The under is 9-4-1 in Phillies last 14 interleague games. The Tigers are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings.
Randy’s Pick
The Philadelphia Phillies have seen their offense pick up lately, and Zack Wheeler is going to get the benefit of the doubt from oddsmakers. However, Reese Olson wasn't terrible in his MLB debut and the Tigers have found ways to hang around this season. The Philadelphia Phillies have underachieved up to this point, and let's not act like Zack Wheeler has been lights out. This line is insane. I'll take a shot with the Tigers and massive plus money.
