Love this team. 7 starting pitchers on the disabled list and they still get it done.

Dave Roberts, i severely underestimated you, sir.

Soto will get at the minimum $700m guaranteed from a team. Not including performance bonuses, etc.

mamma mia
I don't know about that. Shohei got his contract due to being a 2 way player.

He probably only get around 600 million.

Poor guy.

Let's go Phightin Phils!

The home stretch and Mets fading 5.5 games behind us. Complaints about weak bullpen pitching but now having Duran is unreal though middle/setup relief is hit or miss at times. Very weak hitting outfield but there were no players worth getting in a trade. And who has what Philly does on paper with starting pitching.

Last sentence probably why #2 choice for World Series champion. Come playoff time, good pitching usually >>> good hitting.
Draftkings
+350 LA Dodgers
+550 Phillies
+800 Seattle Mariners
+900 Milwaukee Brewers
+900 Houston Astros
+950 Detroit Tigers
+1000 Toronto Blue Jays
+1100 NY Yanks
+1200 SD Padres
+1400 NY Mets
+1400 Chicago Cubs

Locals not feeling as confident as national pundits but I like our chances. With deep, quality, starting pitching, team has two guys who can help in bullpen. Of course need patient/timely hitting that was experienced in weekend series against the Rangers to be there come October.

I never trust bad defensive teams in the playoffs -- and I don't like the Phillies defensively.
.
Yes defensively with Team Defensive Runs Saved
Not in good company with poor record teams at the bottom. Colorado record correlates well with record. LOL the 2024 White Sox who ranked last at -87 runs saved.
