In their last game against the Rays, they showcased a robust offense by securing a win with 7 runs on 16 hits. This offensive surge was backed by an impressive .390 batting average and a significant contribution from extra-base hits, including three home runs. Such hitting prowess will be crucial as they go up against the Phillies.

However, it's not just the batting lineup that has caught attention; the pitching staff has also had its moments of brilliance. Despite some challenges in keeping runs off the board in one of their previous matches—where they conceded 7 runs—the team's ERA stood at 2.0 over another game, demonstrating potential for dominance on the mound when conditions favor them.
