Washington Nationals 2020 season preview: Philadelphia Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies 2019 record: 81-81. Fourth in the NLDS

Washington’s record vs Philadelphia last season: 14-5

Philadelphia added/re-signed: Zack Wheeler, Didi Gregorius.

The Rundown:

The Phillies had a disappointing 2019 season despite adding Bryce Harper, J.T. Reamulto, Jean Segura, David Robertson, and Andrew McCutchen. Manager Gabe Kapler was fired as a result and the team replaced him with Joe Giraldi. Didi Gregorius was brought in on a prove it deal to improve the offense. The Phillies offensive woes started last year when McCutchen tore his ACL.
