The Phillies are one of the most clear win-now teams in all of baseball, and after a frustrating start to their season they’ve turned it on and are firmly in a playoff position.
Record
20-17
Head-to-head record
Red Sox 1, Phillies 1
Trend
Up-ish. As I said above, the Phillies have turned it on a bit and if this series had been over the weekend rather than after it, the Red Sox would have been taking on one of the hottest teams in the league. Heading into this past weekend’s series against the Mets, Philly had won nine of their last ten, and they won their first game of that series as well.
