The Phillies are currently tied for the National League’s third and final wild card spot. As fate would have it, they will play a four-game series against the team with whom they are currently tied.
I’m sure there are some writers out there who have meticulously previewed this series, providing in depth analysis on the key players and stats for such an important mid-season matchup. But where they zigged, I have zagged, and I’ve dedicated a large chunk of this preview talking about Yadier Molina.
Does that bother anyone? Like do you open up these series previews excited to learn about the Phillies’ next opponent, and then become disappointed because I start talking about some random guy who is slumping and the latest Marvel trailer?
