NL East Roundup - Washington Nationals climbing into fight in division...

Another week of National League East baseball has come and gone. It’s a weird division to this point. Let’s examine one point from each team with this week’s NL East Roundup.

Philadelphia Phillies (13-14)

One big thing: First place, but...

The Phillies currently hold first place in the division by virtue of games played, but Philadelphia is still under .500 on the season. That’s due in some part to the team’s record on the road (4-9). As far as “good” teams go, the general rule of thumb is to win home series and split road series.
