The Arizona Diamondbacks are set to bring their .223 batting average and shaky pitching depth to Citizens Bank Park, where they'll face off against the Phillies and their .220 batting average. Michael Soroka, rocking a 0.90 ERA through 10 innings, looks to keep his sizzling start alive against a Phillies lineup that's been held to a .264 OBA by opposing pitchers. Not exactly the springboard the Phillies wanted for their .220 batting average club. His opponent, Jesus Luzardo, has struggled to a 4.97 ERA over 12.2 innings; if his control issues resurface, Soroka could get all the help he needs.
Corbin Carroll's Day-To-Day status for the Diamondbacks is a concern, as is Pavin Smith's 10-Day IL stint; on the Phillies side, J.T. Realmuto is also Day-To-Day. When healthy, both teams have shown some pop - the Diamondbacks have 8 home runs to the Phillies' 11 - but ERA-wise, they've been polar opposites. Make your pick or join the discussion on StreakChat.
