The Philadelphia Phillies and the rest of the MLB return to a 162-game schedule after a pandemic shortened season.
The Fightin’ Phils face a tough test in 2021.
- They are in the NL East which is being touted as the toughest division in MLB.
- The Phillies haven’t made the postseason in nine seasons, the longest drought of any NL team.
- 2011 was the last time the Phils finished above .500, marking a long stretch of mediocrity.
- Did the Phillies revamp a historically bad bullpen? Last year, Phillies relievers’ combined ERA was 7.06, dead last in the MLB. And second worst in the MLB history.
The Phillies will once again rely on big contract stars Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto. Aaron Nola gets his fourth straight Opening Day start and Zach Wheeler showed last year he’s a solid No. 2 starter.
The Phillies offense has the ammo to be explosive, but the big questions about the team revolve around starting pitching depth and of course, improving the woeful bullpen.
Sports betting apps in Pennsylvania expect more of the same from the Phillies as their win total is set at 80.5 and odds to win the World Series at +4000. (As always, shop around, see varying odds below.)
