Six wins in May have dropped the Phillies into the basement of baseball, but can they pull themselves out in the month of June? Early projections say it’s unlikely, especially with some major road trips coming up.
Seven different teams come across the schedule in June, but several series are essentially home and home sets. From June 9-26 they’ll only play three separate teams: St. Louis, Boston, and Arizona.
Four teams they face in June are currently at or below the .500 mark in the standings.
The month opens with a visit from the San Francisco Giants, who’ve gone from World Championship contender to a team struggling to put a lineup card in every night.
