Los Angeles Angels vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

It would be nice to know who is taking the mound for the Angels, but I’m still rolling with the Phillies at home. The Phillies are the better team. Also, while Luzardo has been on the struggle bus over the last two months, he still has above-average stuff and is due for a bounce-back performance. Luzardo still has a top-50 ERA and is top-15 in strikeouts. In 36 at-bats against current Angels, Luzardo has a .194 allowed batting average and 15 strikeouts. I expect a better showing from Luzardo after the break. Give me the Phillies.
