Joey Votto's Zack Wheeler proclamation goes hilariously wrong in Phillies-Braves Game 3

During Thursday's postseason matchup, television analyst Joey Votto learned a harsh lesson about the classic broadcaster curse. While working in a field-level capacity for NBC, the former infielder declared during the fourth inning that he could not envision the Atlanta Braves adding any further runs against Philadelphia Phillies starter Zack Wheeler.

That bold prediction backfired almost immediately. Just five pitches later, Wheeler issued a walk before serving up a two-run home run to Ozzie Albies, powering Atlanta toward a 6-2 victory and a forthcoming series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
