Phillies Stat Notes — early team stats show improvement in most areas

The Phillies have the 4th best record in the NL so far, and while they rank higher in scoring runs (3rd) than in allowing them (7th), both of those rankings are skewed somewhat by the two blowouts they’ve been involved in (losing 15-2 to Atlanta, and beating the Marlins 20-1).

The Phils head to Atlanta leading the Braves by one game in the standings. By either runs per game (5.86), or wRC+ (119), the Braves have had the best offense in the NL so far in the early going.
