After the four-game series against the Washington Nationals, the Philadelphia Phillies sit above the .500 mark with a 56-53 record and are currently half a game back from the first-place New York Mets.

The Phillies were able to sweep a Nationals team who recently traded key players like Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, and Daniel Hudson. Now, they shift focus to the Mets, who are 3-7 in their last 10 games (the Phillies are 6-4) and have a losing record on the road.
