Tonight, the Phillies get an extra hitter. Thanks to the game being played in the Bronx, the Phillies will have the ability to use a designated hitter instead of batting the pitcher at the bottom. This can help avoid unnecessary double switches and help add more offense to the lineup. It’s a win-win!
The DH still shouldn’t be in the National League.
The Phillies and Yankees go at it for a brief two game series in New York. Both teams still have starters out on the Covid list, New York being hit harder.
