The Phillies are coming into this game with a 21-15 record this season and they have been playing in a lot of high scoring games recently. They are coming off of a 7-0 win against the Rays in their last game and they have seen 9+ runs total in 3 of their last 4 games. Their offense has been very good in these games as well, scoring at least 7 runs in 4 straight games. They are going up against a Rays team that is 16-20 this season and they have also been playing in some high scoring games recently. They are coming off of a 7-0 loss against the Phillies and have seen 9+ runs total in 2 of their last 3 games now. Their pitching has been awful in these as they have allowed at least 5 runs in each of their last 3 games, but their offense has not been bad in these. They did score 11 runs total in 2 straight games prior to getting shut out in their last game so they are going to be hungry to bounce back here and this is a favorable pitching matchup for them to score some runs. Jesús Luzardo is starting for the Phillies in this game and he is 3-0 with a 1.94 ERA this season. He has been great this season as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 3 as well as 6 of his last 7 starts, allowing no more than 3 earned runs in any of those, but he has not really had a bad start this season and this is the perfect spot for him to do so on the road. The Rays have been scoring runs at home all season and Jesús Luzardo has not been good against the Rays in his career. He is 0-3 with a 6.20 ERA against them and he was awful in his only start against the Rays last season, allowing 9 earned runs in a little over 4 innings. Ryan Pepiot is starting for the Rays in this game and he is 2-4 with a 4.23 ERA this season. He has been much better in his last 2 starts, but he has not been very consistent this season. He has also been worse in his last 3 home starts as he allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of those, allowing 9 earned runs total in his last 2 starts there. He has not faced the Phillies in his career either so there is a good chance he gets blown up on the mound here with how hot the Phillies offense has been recently. Between these two sides, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
