Philadelphia Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies had their seven-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday with a seven-run loss, bringing them within two games of the Braves for first place. They will look to start another winning streak with Opening Day starter Zack Wheeler on Thursday, who is coming off a strong performance with his first win of the season. Wheeler has a 2.30 ERA, 2.42 FIP, and 0.894 WHIP for the season. The Phillies' bullpen is ranked 11th in WAR, and they will aim to silence Cincinnati's lineup. At the plate, the Phillies are scoring an average of 4.33 runs per game and rank seventh in home runs in the league. They are also causing headaches on the basepaths with their 10th ranking in walk percentage and 22-30 in stolen-base attempts. Despite an underwhelming April, the team is on the right path, with a power ranking of 5 and a 15-9 record for the season.
