Phillies Projected To Finish 30-30, Miss Playoffs In FanGraphs ZiPS Projections

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Major League Baseball will have a season after all. The league imposed a 60-game schedule on Tuesday with the players association agreeing to the health and safety protocols set forth to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

While there is still plenty to get through between now and Opening Day on July 23 or 24, the fact that a season is planned has led to renewed projections on how teams will fare. Unfortunately for the Phillies, the answer is, basically the same as they have in previous seasons.

FanGraphs updated its ZiPS projection model taking into account changes to rosters (injuries) and the 60-game slate.
