What's the Phillies' biggest concern heading into the final stretch of the season?
-- Tom S., Newtown Square, Pa.
It's the offense, although the defense has remained a season-long issue. As much hand-wringing as there has been at times from Phillies fans regarding the rotation, the Phillies have one of the strongest starting staffs in baseball. It ranks seventh with a 3.70 ERA and sixth with a 3.76 xFIP. The Phillies' bullpen has a 2.73 ERA since July 1, too. It is the best mark in baseball in that span.
There is no reason to think the Phillies will not pitch well enough down the stretch.
