Because he sucks? Guy had multiple MULTIPLE games where he was a disaster. You were literally on here saying he was cooked. Dodgers are going to crush HIM. Its a joke that he's starting 2nd game? How da fuck were the Phillies favored to win the series with 1 reliable starter
This bullshit narrative your pushing he had stretch of 2 bad games is absolute BULLSHIT.
Of course he had other rough starts, every pitcher does?
The back to back games he had in May where he was tipping his pitches and gave up 20 earned runs over 5.2 innings absolutely inflated his ERA lmao. An entire earned run. He has a 3.03 outside of those two starts. His K:BB ratio is elite, his FIP and other metrics are VERY good.
Of course every starters numbers will improve if you remove their worst two starts...but Luzardo's is an outlier big time.
Guy can be a bit immature for sure, and mentally needs to keep it in check (he gets very emotional out there) but he also has the stuff to roll through a lineup with ease. His strikeout ability is among the best.
Start Ranger game 3 on the road. He's cold blooded in the playoffs and proven. Give him the tougher task.
