Cristopher Sanchez leads the Phillies against the Pirates and Paul Skenes. While Sanchez allows a .321 OBP, not terrible but not great, he removes baserunners well with double place. He induced nine GDPs in 46 opportunities this season. Skenes’s 4-6 record belies his 2.05 ERA. After 36 career starts, the Bill James Starting Pitcher Rankings […]...2025

• 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?

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.
