Key Stats
Los Angeles Angels
The Los Angeles Angels are doing a middling job offensively as they are tied with the Cincinnati Reds for 14th place with a .717 team OPS while scoring 4.38 runs per game. They are swinging the bats with a lot of power as they are fourth in the majors with 145 total home runs. Designated hitter Mike Trout has been hitting at a solid level as he has a .241/.364/.474 slash line with 17 homers, 42 RBI, 37 runs scored, and a pair of steals without being caught.
Young right-hander Jose Soriano is going to be taking the mound for the Los Angeles Angels for Sunday’s game and is holding his own thus far as he is 6-7 with a 3.90 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP in 113.0 innings of work. He is doing an incredible job at keeping the ball in the park as he has allowed only four home runs thus far. Soriano faced the Phillies back in 2022 out of the bullpen and did not factor into the decision as he pitched 0.2 innings and allowed two runs on two hits with zero walks and one strikeout.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies are hitting at a good level up to this point as they are 10th in MLB with a .255/.329/.407 team slash line while scoring 4.61 runs per game.

First baseman Bryce Harper has been hitting extremely well as he has a .881 OPS with 13 home runs, 41 RBI, 42 runs scored, and nine steals on nine tries.
The Phillies are sending lefty Ranger Suarez to the hill and pitched incredibly thus far as in his first 13 starts, he is 7-3 with a 2.15 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP in 83.2 innings of work.

Prediction
Jose Soriano and Ranger Suarez are doing a phenomenal job in terms of limiting the amount of home runs and that will prevent runs being scored. In their last seven starts, Jose Soriano is 2-2 with a 3.54 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP in 40.2 innings while Ranger Suarez is 3-3 with a 1.71 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP in 47.1 innings during that stretch. On Saturday, these lineups combined to go 5-for-18 with runners in scoring position so there will be a step down there. All in all, go with the under here.
