BTW, I don't see the Phils fading anytime soon with their weak schedule this month. We will need to keep winning against the Yanks and Milwaukee as they should win against Baltimore, etc.

If Baltimore plays them as tough as they played us, it won't be a cakewalk for the Phils.

Baltimore had no business winning that series vs us, but hopefully the Phillies manager will make them look good just the same.

Baltimore promptly went on to lose 7 of their next 8...sucks but that was an abomination of a series (Reds on the other hand, that series stunk but they at least are on absolute fire on offense right now). I doubt they help much. They might win 1...that's it.
Count me in as another that thought Philly was going away but considering how they did vs a tough schedule after getting killed to start out, and it's 70+ games in, at this point I'm doubting it.
After today the Phillies are 17-7 in one run games. The likelihood that this continues isn't high. Sure there are teams like the Rangers of a few years back that can work that magic all year but the Phillies aren't as good as their record indicates so far.

Reds also just faced a Brewers team lacking Cain and Yelich in the OF. Both might be back for us though. Yelich should be, Cain might come off the DL during the series someone said.

I agree with this but they are having an easy schedule this month. Plus pitching match-up favors them too against Baltimore so likely a two game sweep for Philly. Best hope is probably a split.
