• 2025 NL East Season Preview: Philadelphia Phillies

Photo by Nick Wosika/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Phillies wrested the division crown from the bedraggled Braves in 2024. Can they hold them off in 2025? So long as the current divisional alignment holds, the Phillies will be the Atlanta Braves’ main rivals in my mind’s eye. Since I’ve been watching baseball, they’ve won the NL East six times — the Braves have won it 12 times, and ...2025

By all accounts, the Marlins ace looked like his typical self during the outing, and if that's the case, his current ADP of SP #50 in round 14 seems drastically lower than I would value him.
