The Phillies: Skidding into San Francisco after a four-game sweep by the Diamondbacks, the Phillies spent the weekend failing to evade the Giants. They look to find their footing against Arizona, a team that just swept them in four games.
The Diamondbacks: Arizona blew a four-run lead in Denver, because they're the kind of team that will do that. But they did it at the end of would would have been the greatest road trip in the history of the franchise, so they're hot. So either the Diamondbacks are an eminently beatable team, still better than the Phillies, or they're a hot team that will definitely be better than the Phillies.
