Last article: 3-0 (2.23 RW Bucks)
Season Record: 99-99-4 (-10.82 RW Bucks)
We're set for a two-game NLDS slate Wednesday, and I'll aim to identify some top wagers to consider for each contest.
Philadelphia Phillies 
at Atlanta Braves 
Zack Wheeler put together another impressive season for the Phillies, generating a third straight sub-3.00 ERA (2.82) while once again doing a very good job keeping the ball in the park (0.8 HR/9). However, Wheeler had his most trouble on the road, especially against right-handed hitters, allowing a .300 average, .789 OPS and .339 wOBA in that split. He was especially poor when facing righty bats with men on base, a circumstance under which he yielded a .351 average and .350 wOBA. Atlanta's lineup has a solid array of powerful right-handed hitters, including Ronald Acuna, Dansby Swanson, Austin Riley and Travis d'Arnaud, and they'll be locked in on preventing an 0-2 series deficit Wednesday.
Kyle Wright put together the season many thought he was destined for in his days as a top prospect, racking up 21 wins against only five losses. The breakout righty was especially impressive at home, where he posted a 13-2 record, 2.86 ERA and 0.8 HR/9 across 103.2 innings. Wright also handled the Phillies well this season, generating a 2-1 record and 2.84 ERA against them in 19 innings (three starts). Current Phillies bats have just a collective .159 average and .672 OPS against Wright in 84 career plate appearances.

San Diego Padres 
at Los Angeles Dodgers 
Yu Darvish put together a stellar season, tying his career high with 16 wins while generating a career-low 0.95 WHIP as well. The veteran right-hander was impressive against the Dodgers as well despite a 1-2 record, as he pitched to a 2.52 ERA and a 31:5 K:BB across 25 innings in four starts. He's been very effective against most current Dodgers bats during his career overall, although Trea Turner, who doubled and homered in his first pair of plate appearances in Game 1, has had his number more often than not with a .353 average, a pair of doubles, a homer and only four Ks in 17 plate appearances. Otherwise, Darvish was actually more effective at keeping the ball in the park (0.9 HR/9) and getting swings and misses (9.3 K/9) on the road, putting a low total in the first 5 innings in play.
Clayton Kershaw finished his own noteworthy regular season, one in which he generated a 2.28 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, with a 5-0 mark, 1.20 ERA, 10.5 K/9 and 0.6 HR/9 across his final 30 frames. He'll be pitching with plenty of rest after last having taken the hill last Wednesday, and he's held current Padres bats to a collective .180 average and .547 OPS in 208 career encounters with them. Kershaw also was a shutdown pitcher at Dodger Stadium, where he generated a 6-0 record, 2.39 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 11.3 K/9 and 0.8 HR/9 across 64 innings.
