Bill Harrelson’s bonus pick is Sam Haggerty to record at least one time on base against Philadelphia. Haggerty has reached in eight of his last ten and 15 of his last 20 (75%). He tallied three total bases versus the Phillies yesterday and owns a 74% success rate this season (25-for-34). The outfielder averages roughly 4.5 plate appearances per game and has cashed the prop in eight of his last nine overall. Harrelson acknowledged the downgrade in matchup against Zack Wheeler but argued Haggerty’s current form outweighs the pitching step-up. Underdog is the lone book posting this prop, so bettors can take advantage of an isolated line while the market catches up.

B Wade recommended betting Patrick Corbin over 2.5 earned runs allowed, noting that the left-hander reverted to form after a lucky July. Corbin gave up three runs to the Yankees in his first August start and had gone over this line in seven of nine appearances prior to July’s brief lull. Wade highlighted how power bats Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Nick Castellanos all post better numbers versus lefties, and Corbin’s fly-ball-to-HR rate jumps from 11% to 16% when facing left-handed hitters—setting up multiple long-ball threats. In last year’s meetings with Philadelphia he allowed four runs in one start and two in the other, reinforcing Wade’s expectation that the Phillies plate at least three on Sunday.

B Wade said to take Zack Wheeler over 7.5 strikeouts against the Rangers, pointing out that Wheeler has cleared this line in eight of his last nine overall starts and in six of his past seven road outings. Even in games where he has surrendered runs, Wheeler is escaping jams by piling up punch-outs and continues to work deep into games. Texas owns the 16th-highest team strike-out rate, a middling number that Wade believes is not enough to slow Wheeler’s current K tear.

Kenny G prefers the Rangers at +130. He cited Wheeler’s recent wobble, Texas’ elite bullpen (2nd-best ERA in MLB), and the Phillies’ Jekyll-and-Hyde offense that could “just evaporate.” Corbin has kept Texas in games (team 4-1 in his last five starts) and the Rangers are 36-23 at home compared to Philadelphia’s 30-28 road record. Given the coin-flip nature of the matchup and plus-money price, Kenny labeled Texas “a significant dog” worth backing.

Drew Martin prefers Philadelphia in Arlington because Zach Wheeler brings an elite 182-to-28 K/BB ratio and held Texas to two runs over seven frames last season. Patrick Corbin, meanwhile, allowed 16 hits in just nine innings across two 2024 meetings with Philadelphia and now faces a Phillies lineup finally heating up. Texas has cooled and still struggles versus right-handers, so Martin is willing to lay a moderate number so long as Wheeler is confirmed.

Kenny G labeled Texas his “dog of the day” at +110. He is fading Philadelphia starter Christopher Sanchez after an eight-inning shut-out of Detroit, noting the left-hander cratered the last time he worked beyond seven frames (knocked around by the White Sox) and now draws a lineup he has never faced. Sanchez also hands off to a Phillies bullpen with a gruesome 4.37 ERA. Texas counters with new acquisition Merrill (called "Mario") Kelly, 9-6 with a 3.22 ERA, who allowed just two earned over 5.2 innings in his Rangers debut and benefits from one of MLB’s best pens. Globe Life Field has been kind to Texas (36-21, 63% win rate) while the Phillies are a .500 road club. Kenny trusts the Rangers’ elite relief group and strong home profile to overcome their middling offense (23rd in runs) against a tired Philly staff. Play: Rangers ML +110; slight lean to under 7.5, but moneyline is the official pick.

Eric Lindquist said to take Cristopher Sanchez over 18.5 outs at plus money. Sanchez recorded 19 + outs Sunday against Detroit and now pitches in the more forgiving Globe Life Field against a Rangers lineup he rates as weaker versus left-handed pitching than Detroit’s, which still owns a 110 WRC+ versus southpaws. Lindquist noted Sanchez’s efficient pitch counts, a Phillies offense with left-handed thump that should give him win equity, and the chance that the opposing starter (he referenced Merrill Kelly but meant the Texas starter) allows Philadelphia to play from ahead. With park upgrade, softer opponent, and recent form, Lindquist believes the number should be juiced, making the plus-money over a buy.

Cash Out Sports Picks said to grab the Phillies money-line at Globe Life Field. Philadelphia already swept Texas earlier this year, holding the Rangers to a .220 average and .360 slugging percentage and limiting them to two runs or fewer in three of the last four meetings. The tout highlighted Philly's "top-five offense in batting average" versus a Texas lineup ranking 27th at .232. Christopher Sanchez brings a 1.90 ERA over his past three starts, and the Phillies have won better than 50 percent of their road games, including two recent 9-run outbursts in New York. All of that, the tout argued, points to another Philadelphia victory.

B Wade paired his Lugo play with Sam Haggerty to record at least one hit. The Rangers switch-hitter is expected to face Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez, and Wade noted that Texas deploys Haggerty almost exclusively against left-handers. Haggerty sports a .357 batting average versus lefties in 2025 and has produced a hit in 16 of 17 such games, compared with just .171 against right-handers. Because the prop pays roughly 1.45× for a single knock, Wade called it a low-risk, high-value spot and labeled it a 'gimme' pick.
