Wheeler, who started his career with the Mets, has a 2.42 ERA in 63⅓ postseason innings. He'll get the ball for another playoff Game 1 for the Phillies, and his team counts on his calm demeanor.

Shockingly, J.D. Martinez has never faced Zack Wheeler. Of the hundreds of pitchers Martinez has faced in his 14 years in the big leagues, Wheeler, the former Mets right-hander, isn’t one of them. That could change Saturday when the Philadelphia Phillies and the Mets begin the NLDS at Citizens Bank Park.
