Yes, it’s a bit early to say Odubel Herrera is the next Vladimir Guerrero. It’s also a bit early to start looking at playoff standings. But it’s not too early to say the Phillies are in a much better spot than they were last season. They enter the weekend series in Washington with 15 more wins than they had last season through their first 71 games. The Phillies have 33 wins, a mark they didn’t reach last season until July 22. The Phils have won seven of their last 10 and three straight series. The next 10 games — against the Nationals and Yankees — will tell us a lot.
