Phillies Bats vs Luis Severino- Game 2 Preview
After wasting a great start by Zack Wheeler, the Phillies will try to even the series before it heads up to New York. In their way will be Luis Severino.
Luis Severino has faced the Phillies 3 times in his career. Once with the Yankees way back in 2018, and then twice this season with the Mets. The start back in 2018, when most of these guys weren’t here, went great. He shut out the Phillis over 7 innings.
But in both starts vs this current team, he gave up 3 runs over 6 innings. Not terrible, but not great either. Those starts did not come earlier in the season either. They were both within the last month.
His season overall was decent. A 3.81 ERA across 182 innings. But he gave up at least 3 runs in each of his last 4 outings. Both Phillies starts are included in that span. His great April is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for his stats.
Can he bounce back for his most important start of the season so far? Or will the Phillis lineup take advantage of him to even this series up? Let’s take a look at how each Phillies hitter has done against him in the past.

The Phillies bats went ice cold in game 1. Kyle Schwarber led the game off with an HR, but then they didn’t score again until Kody Clemens hit a double in the 9th inning when they were down 5 runs. Bryce Harper also had a double, but it didn’t lead anywhere.
They get a chance at redemption in game 2 against a guy they have hit fairly well against in the past.
