Zack Wheeler Starting Game 1 Of Doubleheader Tuesday
1 year agoPhiladelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler is getting the start for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Washington Nationals. Left-hander Ranger Suarez was originally scheduled to start Monday night's contest before it was postponed, but the Phillies will pivot to Wheeler for Game 1, while Suarez will take the ball for the second half of the twin bill. The 33-year-old Wheeler is in the middle of another nice season, working to a 3.71 ERA in 22 starts. Additionally, Wheeler's 22.8% K-BB ratio ranks fifth among qualified pitchers, while his 4.3 fWAR is the best mark in baseball among qualified hurlers. The right-hander has certainly been a boon to fantasy managers, and he'll take on a Nationals offense that is tied for 24th with a .303 wOBA versus right-handed pitching this season.
