Today’s matchup is between the Boston Red Sox (14-28) and the Philadelphia Phillies (20-17). The Red Sox have won 2 of their last 5 games & the Phillies have won 3 of their last 5 games.
The Red Sox are starting Martin Perez (LHP) on the mound who is 2-4 on the season pitching a 4.07 ERA, 4.74 FIP, .301 wOBA, K% of 16.9, BB% of 10.5, 85.6 MPH average exit velocity & a 1.21 WHIP in 42 innings pitched.

The Red Sox are 5th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching while the Phillies are 23rd.
On the hitting side the Red Sox have a .330 wOBA & a .326 OBP. The Phillies have a .336 wOBA & a .339 OBP. The Red Sox have 55 HRs this season while the Phillies have 56 HRs.
The Phillies are the 4th best in the Majors vs Left handed pitching and Perez's FIP indicates he's a subpar pitcher this season while Zach Eflin's FIP indicates he's better than his ERA suggests. The Red Sox have have better relieving pitching which is why I like the Phillies to win the First 5 innings.
