Wheeler pitched 1 hit shutout ball for 7 innings. The bullpen did not pitch well and the Phllies did not hit well. Doesn't look good starting off at home and losing the first game. At least Penn State won, but even they had a harder time with UCLA than expected.

Watched some of the game highlights from yesterday, looks like way too many walks costs almost all the teams to lose that lost. You can't defend walks and they cost several teams game one.

SD needs to pitch around Ohtani, every at bat. If they can take his RBI's out of the equation they will have a much better chance going forward. Shilt hurt them that game too. No way you pull Cease that early, he's too good. But Shilt has never been very good, as seen in STL a few years back.

Yankees got a couple helpful calls from the umps too, but too many walks did in the Royals.

Phillies need to straighten up or it's going to be a short post season for a team that was #1 in MLB much of the season. The Mets just aren't that good, they shouldn't be winning in Philly.

Indians were the only ones to win decisively.
