The Phillies’ planned starter for Game 1 of the wild-card series at Busch Stadium, right-hander Zack Wheeler, did not allow a run in 14 innings pitched against the Cardinals, and all nine of the Cardinals’ hits off Wheeler were singles. Wheeler went 2-0 against the Cardinals, claiming half of the Phillies’ wins in their seven games vs. the Cardinals.

Obviously, we’ll dive deep into what he does, how he does it, how he does it against us — that type of stuff. How he’s done against us in the past on a Tuesday in Philly at 1 p.m.? “Yeah, I put little stock in that.” A day after the Phillies were confirmed as their opponent the best-of-three wild-card series, the Cardinals began their moves for the postseason Wednesday afternoon — two overtly and two more subtly.
