It’s Zac vs. Zack in Game 1 of the NLCS.
The Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen is 2-0 this postseason.
Allowed two runs over six innings to the Brewers, then two again over 5 ¹/₃ to the Dodgers.
The Phillies’ Zack Wheeler gave up one run over 6 ²/₃ to the Fish, then two in 6 ¹/₃ in Atlanta — a game the Bravos came back and won after the Philly bullpen leaked.
Wheeler started 15 home games this season, losing twice. Zac vs. Zack.
We will take Wheeler and the Phillies (-164, FanDuel) for $100 in Game 1 and to advance to the World Series (-166, FanDuel) as well.
