Daily News | Phillies are big favorites with Aaron Nola on the mound in series opener vs. Detroit
True, Nola has not been anywhere near the same pitcher who dominated much of the 2022 season. But the Tigers are starting Joey Wentz, whose 47 innings in 2023 can be explained simply by numbers like this: 7.28 ERA; 1.68 WHIP; -0.8 WAR.
Wentz has not pitched through the fifth inning in four consecutive starts and did not get through three innings in two of those starts. And Detroit has one win in its last six games.It’s the arms, silly. Phillies bats will be fine. Consistent winning requires consistent pitching The Phillies are obviously big favorites at home given the pitching matchup. They’ve also been swinging the bats a bit better over the last few games. It is June after all, and that’s when Kyle Schwarber tends to shine.
