The Philadelphia Phillies will continue their homestand against a team that’s sure to provide fans with a roller coaster of emotions. On one hand, it’s the final regular season series that franchise icon Chase Utley will play in Philadelphia. On the other hand, Manny Machado – who, just a week ago, seemed like could be playing for the Phillies in this series – will come to town as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers. And all of this comes with both teams holding small leads in their respective divisions.
On paper, it looks as though this series could feature at least a couple pitcher’s duels.
