Jeff Kerr on Substack<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe Phillies’ offense was atrocious against LHP on the road trip, with little opportunity against a LHP. When the Phillies did face a LHP, they were shut out.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia hit .175 on the road trip against LHP with a .548 OPS, ranking 24th and 25th in baseball, respectively. The extra base hits consisted of three doubles.<\/p>\n
Tonight they will face a right-hander, Mike Soroka, who\u00a0allowed just a run over five innings to get a win in his last start on Saturday over Atlanta. This season, Soroka is 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA with 1 1.20 WHIP.<\/p>\n
Analyzing the Lineup Shift: Marsh at Cleanup<\/p>\n
The Phillies have made a slight change to the lineup, moving Brandon Marsh to the No.\u00a04 spot in the lineup, while dropping\u00a0Alec Bohm to No. 7 in the order.<\/p>\n
The Phillies are stacking their left-handed bats with Arizona not having a left-handed pitcher in the bullpen.<\/p>\n
