I like it when the Phillies play the American League West teams. It gives us a chance to see teams that we don’t see very often, as opposed to the Mets and Marlins who the Phillies play approximately 40 times a year.
In preparation for this two-game series against a non-rival, I’ve written a preview. As usual, you won’t learn all that much about the Phillies’ opponent, but I will talk about Spencer Howard and Cole Hamels!
Record: 8-14 (Fifth place in American League West)
The last time they met
The Phillies visited Arlington for three games in 2017 and left with zero wins.
