Leaning more on the matchup here - only 4 guys in WSH’s lineup with above avg K% vs righties in away games this season (Alu, Garrett, Thomas and Rutherford), and even so, Wheeler has only K’ed that group in 3 of 22 PAs (excl Garrett whom he hasn’t faced). He’s 3/3 to the under vs WSH this season, and under in each of his L3 overall. I looked through the game logs of previous Williamsport games, and there doesn’t seem to be any impact of the environment on strikeouts (ballpark pal agrees).
