Phillies vs Yankees MLB Player Prop Picks (Jul 27)

First pitch at 1:35 PM ET from Yankee Stadium as the Philadelphia Phillies visit the New York Yankees. The Phillies hand the ball to Zack Wheeler (9–3, 2.39 ERA, 164 strikeouts, 0.88 WHIP), while New York counters with Cam Schlittler (1–0, 4.36 ERA, 1.55 WHIP in limited innings). Philadelphia opens as a slight favorite (~–126 ML), with the total set at 8 runs.

• Wheeler leads the National League in strikeouts per nine (11.5) and boasts elite efficiency—0.88 WHIP and just .187 opposing average.
• Schlittler is inexperienced (only ~10 IP this year), with elevated WHIP and few efficient outings.
• The Under has hit in 61 of Phillies road games and 27 of Yankees home games.

Philadelphia Phillies Player Prop Pick: Zack Wheeler

Wheeler brings elite strikeout upside—averaging over 11.5 K/9—and faces a Yankees lineup known to chase pitches and strike out frequently. With a strong command and swing-and-miss arsenal, he consistently exceeds strikeout expectations.

• Leads MLB in strikeouts (164) and K/9 (11.53).
• Career WHIP of 0.88 and opponent batting avg just .187.
• Strong value aligned with Wheeler’s performance elite nature.

New York Yankees Player Prop Pick: Anthony Volpe

Volpe has shown strong production across hits and run involvement recently. He’s consistently multi-hit and multiplies his value when team rallies heat up against Wheeler’s strikeout-heavy repertoire.

• Over H+R+RBI in 3 of last 6 games, with +335% ROI across the sample.
• High-usage leadoff batter with upside in Yankees’ last-game comeback atmosphere.
• Wheeler’s split-second control could slip, giving Volpe action vs. strikeouts and walks.
