With so many key players in casts and on crutches, there are teams the Phillies need to consistently beat to hold onto any chance of another playoff run.
This series against the Reds, for example.
Last year the Phillies had their way with the Reds. With a record of 62-100, nearly every team had their way with the Reds. The Reds only took one game out of the seven times they faced off against each other. In that one they won, Ranger pitched seven shut out innings.
