The 2025 Philadelphia Phillies will be remembered for how they perform after the season's All-Star break. This is the club's highest-stakes second half in years, with a crucial trade deadline looming amid contract uncertainties with several star free agents. Last year down the stretch, they limped to a 33-33 record post-All-Star break but still won the NL East.
They must play better than .500 ball in this year's second half if they want to repeat as division champs for the first time since 2011. Philadelphia entered the mid-season break at 55-41 and just a half-game ahead of the New York Mets for first place.
