Analyzing past games reveals a mixed bag of results for the Phillies. In their last encounter against the Houston Astros, they suffered a heavy defeat with a final scoreline that saw them unable to score against 10 runs from the Astros. This game highlighted some areas of concern, particularly in hitting where they managed only 3 hits compared to Astros' 18 hits and struggled across all innings.


However, looking back further provides a more encouraging picture. In another recent game against the Astros, the Phillies showcased their potential by securing a convincing 5-0 victory. Their batting was significantly improved with 11 hits leading to 5 runs, demonstrating what the team is capable of when firing on all cylinders. This performance was underpinned by solid pitching that kept Houston's hitters at bay throughout nine innings.
