The Phillies’ 2024 schedule - on paper, at least - appeared to be easier on the front end than the back end. Not only would they have a lot of home games in April, but many of those games would be against some of Major League Baseball’s lesser lights.
The Phillies just completed a sweep of one of those lesser lights in the Colorado Rockies. This weekend, they’ll be visited by a team that somehow might be even worse, so this is a prime opportunity to put a few more wins on the ledger.
