New York has scored three runs or fewer in four of its last five games. The Phillies will start Jesús Luzardo, who has allowed one run or fewer in four consecutive outings, with Philadelphia winning all four games. New York has struggled against left-handed pitching this season, batting just .234 on the road. Cam Schlittler owns a 1.18 ERA on the road and has held opponents to three runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. These are two of the top under teams in the majors, with more than 55% of their games finishing below the total.

Starting the ladder on Jesus Luzardo for 8,9,10 Ks against the Yankees on Friday night. The Bronx Bombers are likely to use a righty heavy order against him, but I'm not sure it matters being they still have to kind of force feed at least a few lefties in there. Regardless, Luzardo has been good against both side of the plate and is running a 15% swinging strike rate and 114 Stuff+ metric over the last month. The Yankees on the other hand own the league's highest strikeout rate and 3rd-lowest OPS against southpaw pitchers in that same time. They're struggling and when Luzardo is on, his stuff is elite for strikeouts, and he projects for at least six innings here.
