The Phillies are coming into this game playing in some low scoring games in this series with the Astros, but they have been playing very well as they have won their last 4 straight games and their offense has been heating up as well. They have scored at least 5 runs in 3 of their last 4 games and have scored 10+ runs in 2 of their last 4 games as well. They are going up against an Astros team that, prior to this series, saw 9+ runs total in 2 of their last 3 games. Their offense was good in their last series, scoring at least 5 runs in 3 of their 4 games, and they are going to be hungry to score some runs here after getting shut out on Tuesday. Taijuan Walker is starting for the Phillies in this game and he is 3-5 with a 6.26 ERA this season. He has not been good this season and he has struggled in his recent starts as well. He allowed 6 earned runs in only 3 innings in his last start and he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of his last 5 as well as 8 of his last 9 starts. He has been allowing a lot of runs recently against weaker offenses like the Nationals and the Marlins as well. The Astros have one of the better offenses in the league this season and they are going to find ways to score with the way Walker has pitched this season. They will also be pushing to win this game to avoid getting swept. Spencer Arrighetti is starting for the Astros in this game and he is 6-11 with a 4.94 ERA this season. He pitched well in his last start, allowing no runs in 6 innings, but prior to that he allowed 6 earned runs in his last 2 starts. He has not been awful in his recent starts as he has improved a lot over the last few weeks, but the Phillies have one of the better offenses in the league and he is still going to struggle to keep them off here since they have been scoring a lot of runs recently. The Phillies are starting to heat up again as well and that has been translating into a lot of offense. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
