The Phillies are 6-0 in their last six interleague games and 5-0 in their last five interleague games vs. a team with a losing record. They're 9-2 in their last 11 overall and 5-0 in their last five games with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

Taijuan Walker has allowed zero earned runs and only four hits in his last two starts (12 innings) while striking out 13 hitters. I expect him to continue to roll on Friday against an A's team that has been hot lately but needs to come back to earth.
