Are the Phillies really this good? Or has their schedule just been easy?

The Philadelphia Phillies have the best record in baseball.

Through 48 games, the rollicking Fightin's are a robust 34-14. They sit five games beyond the Atlanta Braves atop the National League East entering play Tuesday, the club’s largest division lead since the final game of the 2011 season. Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott are all hitting like All-Stars. Philadelphia’s starting staff, bolstered by the ascension of southpaw Ranger Suarez, boasts the lowest rotation ERA in MLB. The rip-roaring baseball circus that opened during the 2022 NLDS is rolling right along.
