PHI 6, ARI 1

I don't always want to see ex-Mets do well -- their tendency to leave town and thrive is depressing -- but I do like seeing Wheeler succeed. The Phillie bullpen needs to buy him a 2BR muffin basket, too.

We picked up some points, in an interesting distribution:

Carroll 1

Castellanos 0
Harper 5
Schwarber 5
Stott 2
Turner 0

A couple of Phils picks that were super-reliable early have fallen way off, but a couple of others have stepped forward. You just never know around here.

NL is now off for a travel day; before we return to The Texas Theatre, your updated standings, with the money pulling away from the rest of the pack...

Tomorrow night's game looms large for a number of slates at 8:07 ET on FS1; the Rangers could get sent home, at home, but Valdez's fluffy postseason ERA could keep the Rangers in it...or Alvarez's over-2 OPS against Eovaldi this October could knock them out of it. We'll find out in a day; until then, let me know of any arithmetic errors, and good luck!
