While official schedules are still in development, the Phillies do know who they will face in the 60-game abbreviated season. As Jon Heyman reported, MLB teams will play 40 games against their own division and 20 games against the division’s geographical counterpart. For the Phillies, this breaks down to playing 10 games each versus the Atlanta Braves, Miami Marlins, New York Mets, and Washington Nationals, and then four games each against the AL East’s Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, and Toronto Blue Jays.
The Phillies already had their work cut out for them to usurp the Braves and Nationals.
