Wheeler posted a very impressive 2.82 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 163 strikeouts over 153 innings of work this season. In 26 starts this season, he's posted a 12-7 record. 

Zack Wheeler has faced the Braves 10 times as a member of the Phillies. In those starts, the thirty-two-year-old has registered a phenomenal 2.04 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 77 strikeouts over 66.1 innings. Across those starts, Wheeler has only walked nine batters and allowed five home runs. 

The Phillies will look to head back to Philadelphia with a 2-0 series lead over the reigning World Series Champions.
