Fantasy/Betting Take: Phillies Fire Joe Girardi

Joe Girardi was relieved of his duties as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday morning. Bench coach Rob Thomson will temporarily take over. The Phillies are 22-29 and 12 games behind the New York Mets in the NL East. They haven't been to the postseason since 2011. With the White Sox's 23-26 record, Tony La Russa is next up on the hot seat. The White Sox are +100 to win their division and +1700 to become World Series champs.

How Did the Phillies Cut the Line on the New York Mets?

When the playoffs began last season, a lot of people would have bet that a team from the NL East would represent the National League in the World Series, but no one was picking the Phillies. The Braves and Mets finished the 2022 season at a dead-heat with an identical 101-61 record. The Braves earned the tiebreaker by beating the Mets for the…

The secret behind the Philadelphia Phillies' World Series run

The secret behind the Philadelphia Phillies' World Series run

The Philadelphia Phillies are not the same team from a month ago. The personnel didn't change; the players, coaching staff, and front office are identical. But they're somehow a different club anyway. How exactly did that happen? They've morphed from a team that fired its manager in June and finished the regular season 87-75 - losing eight of its…
