The only thing keeping the Phillies‘ faint hopes of making the postseason alive is the relative mediocrity of the teams in front of them. Admittedly, when your team is 37-50 and looking bad doing it, you have to look hard for reasons to keep hoping. In this case, that means finding the flaws in the National League teams presently ahead of the Phillies.
You can be sure of this: It is a very, very good thing that the Phillies are not in the American League, because they could never leapfrog enough of those teams to get home. In the National League, though? Stranger things have happened…though not as strange as the Phillies catching the Nationals to win the division. That is not going to happen.
As for these next ten teams? Do you feel lucky?
