The Philadelphia Phillies have 6 batters in the projected lineup that will have the handedness advantage against Chris Sale in this matchup, which is especially problematic given his large platoon split.

Playing on the road generally lowers pitcher stats in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Chris Sale today.
