Can the Phillies overcome having the easiest schedule in baseball?

If you don’t know by now, the Phillies have by far the easiest remaining schedule in Major League Baseball. It’s so easy, it’s impossible for the Phillies to miss the playoffs again, right?

Of the remaining 43 games left on the Phillies’ schedule, only 14 are against teams with a .500 record or better.

The Phillies also have 16 games remaining against last-place teams in their respective divisions. The Braves, who also have one of the easiest remaining schedules, have 11 games left against last-place teams.
