⚾ MLBPlayoffs: After dropping four straight on the road, the Phillies face a daunting task back home this week: six games against teams just as hungry for wins as they are.
Gausman is one of the toughest customers in the AL, though he's allowed five runs in back-to-back outings to the Rangers and Rays. On any given night, he can deliver seven scoreless innings with 10 K's. When he's had trouble this season, a primary reason has been predictability. He has one of the best splitters in the game and loves to attack hitters with splitters that drop out of the zone and fastballs up.
After finishing with the Blue Jays, the Phillies have four more with the Braves. The Phils are 6-9 in the season series. It looks like they'll draw every Braves starting pitcher except Max Fried, which of course means another date with Spencer Strider, who has a 1.27 ERA and .097 opponents' batting average with 34 strikeouts in 21⅓ innings against them.
The Braves have three with the Nationals leading into that series. The drastic gap in talent between those teams could allow the Braves to preserve the key members of their bullpen for the Phillies. It will be the Phils' last homestand of 2022. They finish with a 10-game road trip against the Cubs, Nationals and Astros.
