Top Consensus Play June 27 - Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies were seeing 71% of the consensus plays, the Astros 70%.

It's yet another day where only two teams are getting 70% plus backing compared to most days when there are typically closer to five teams enjoying that type of love.

Yesterday's consensus picks were the Nationals with books seemingly trying to drive action on Washington.  We suggested this could be a good day for Marlins backers.  The Rockies also had some decent volume plays and the line on that team was going upwards.  We felt Colorado could be a safe bet at a decent enough price tag.  Neither were official plays however.

So what happened?

Yesterday's top consensus play, the Nationals, did come through with a 7-5 win.

The Rockies we felt were a safer bet and they did win.

Here is a look at today's Mets-Phillies game:

Philadelphia was coming in at -131 with little line movement.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Zach Wheeler (6-5, 4.69 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Aaron Nola (6-2, 4.55)

Wheeler snapped a three-start winless skid with a sterling performance Saturday as he allowed one run on five hits in seven innings of a 10-2 romp at the Chicago Cubs. The 29-year-old sustained a hard-luck loss against Philadelphia despite permitting three runs in seven innings April 17 before scattering five hits and striking out 11 in seven frames of a 9-0 victory over the Phillies six days later. J.T. Realmuto (7-for-14) and Hernandez (9-for-19) have feasted on Wheeler, although Rhys Hoskins is 1-for-12 with five strikeouts.

Nola fell to 0-2 with a 5.55 ERA in his last four starts despite allowing two runs (one earned) and striking out 10 in eight innings of a 2-1 setback versus Miami on Friday. The 26-year-old escaped with a no-decision against New York on April 15 despite permitting five runs on seven hits in four frames. Todd Frazier is 0-for-10 with four strikeouts versus Nola, who owns a 6-1 mark with a 3.90 ERA in 10 career starts against the Mets.

Houston was at -200 with little line movement observed.
