The Philadelphia Phillies and the Oakland Athletics begin their three-game weekend series on Saturday at Sutter Health Ballpark.
The Phillies are on a roll, having won 7 consecutive games and 15 of 20 games this May. Powered by Trae Turner and Kyle Schwarber, the Phillies boasts the third highest batting average in baseball at .263 and 6th highest total run tally this season at 243. Their 3.71 ERA just barely misses the top-10, though they still have the highest number of quality starts this year at 27.
The Athletics suffered a four-game sweep of the resurging Los Angeles Angels this weekend. Oakland is a decent baseball club that ranks 8th in batting average (.254), 6th in slugging percentage (.417) and 15th in total run (217). The problem for the Athletics is their underperforming pitching staff and bullpen, which is giving up a 5.33 ERA this season.
