In case you hadn’t noticed, the Phillies are the worst team in baseball.
And that hurts because we were all poised for a hopeful 2017 with a playoffs run on 2018.
Well, ESPN has taken notice and has issued this adjustment:
Revised forecast: 64.5 wins | Monthly change: minus-13.2
FiveThirtyEight playoff odds: zero percent | Monthly change: minus-11 percent
The Phillies’ hopes of being a surprising contender have been torpedoed by bad starts from cornerstone hitters Odubel Herrera and Maikel Franco. That’s probably for the best for Philly, for which better days lie ahead. The Phillies can safely shop Jeremy Hellickson and see if they can get some kind of return for reliever Pat Neshek.
