Spencer Strider's return to the mound after injury was disappointing, with a struggling performance against the Nationals highlighting his issues. Entering game three against the Phillies, who have the best record in baseball and a strong offense, Strider faces heightened pressure. Historically, he has had dominant outings against them in regular season play but has faltered in the postseason, raising concerns about his ability to compete effectively against top-tier opponents. Strider must perform well to reinstate confidence in his skills.
Strider's recent performances have been far from the expected return, dealing with injuries and facing a formidable Phillies lineup. He's in a crucial spot to prove himself.
The Phillies' record and performance make them a challenging opponent, especially for a pitcher like Strider who has struggled in previous postseason matchups against them.
