Phillies Stat Notes: Too lucky for their own good

The Phillies still have the 4th worst record in MLB, but according to their run differential they've been a bit lucky and should really be expected to have the very worst record (and therefore the #1 overall 2016 pick).

If the season were to end today, the Phillies would have the 4th overall pick in the 2016 draft.

At 19-30, they are 2.5 games ahead of the team with the worst record (Milwaukee, 16-32).

The Phillies return today to begin a nine-game homestand at CBP, where they actually have a winning record despite being outscored 84 to 71:
