This weekend gives the Phillies their toughest challenge since March when they face the 45-23 Baltimore Orioles in Camden Yards. Outside of Cedric Mullins, their lineup is a gauntlet and their three best pitchers are set to pitch. We even get a Zack Wheeler vs Corbin Burnes matchup on Father’s Day.
The Phillies have Taijuan Walker pitching one of those games and are battered with injuries, so it’s hard to call this a World Series preview but there are a lot of challenges for both teams.
Also, The Notes are now going to be a weekly Friday segment.
