Series Preview #25: Diamondbacks at Phillies

After winning three consecutive series against the Angels, White Sox, and the Nats, winning this series would extend their winning streak to 4 series. In some ways, the Phillies are the better team, and in other ways the teams are evenly matched. The Diamondbacks’ momentum from 3 consecutive series wins is a strong factor. My view is that a series win is a 50-50 possibility.

3 Factors that make the Phillies look like the better team:

Wins: 49 vs 37 (games through 20 June).

Better Rotation ( but that may change in the second half of the season):

Phillies: Their 5 best starters have ERA+ between 114 and 227.
