Yusei Kikuchi is in the midst of a solid season however the veteran has struggled away from Southern California. He will face a Phillies lineup that possesses the 7th highest wOBA against opposing southpaws.

Even allowing at least five runs in each of their last eight games, the Halos have managed to win five of those, including last night's series opener at CBP. Seven of those eight also landed on the "over" side, and Saturday starter Yusei Kikuchi has been laboring in his recent outings, with a 4.96 ERA across his last three starts amid signs of crumbling by the Halos rotation. Meanwhile, Phils counterpart Taijuan Walker, used often out of the bullpen, has effectively been an "extended opener" in games he has started, not pitching beyond four innings in his last 11 appearances dating to May 21.
