Would you believe me if I told you the Phillies had the worst record in baseball over the last five years? It’s true. With a mark of 346-464, no one has been worse. And similar to the Braves, the Phillies appear to be nearing the end of their rebuild.
Atlanta’s and Philly’s rosters aren’t too far off at this point. Most projections have the clubs winning 75 games or so. Both should have pretty decent lineups — I’d actually give Philly the advantage until Ronald Acuna debuts — although the Braves’ pitching staff is better as a whole.
