The Philadelphia Phillies’ stock is back on the upswing!
The Phils’ Thursday night win over the Atlanta Braves was their fifth triumph in the last six games. They are a -142 favorite on Friday night to continue that run, and extend their National League East lead, against the Atlanta Braves. Ranger Suarez is next up for the Phillies on the mound and we can use Cristopher Sanchez’s outing on Thursday as a baseline for what to expect from Ranger.
Sanchez scattered seven hits, gave up four runs and struck out eight batters over six innings.
