Phillies Opening Day preview 2022

The Phillies have to improve their offense to be a contender in 2022. Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos, Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, Rhys Hoskins, Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm are the top five hitters in Joe Girardi's lineup. The bottom four spots could go to Didi Gregorius, Jean Segura, Didier Gregorious, Alec Vierling and Matt Viera. The team needs to score a lot of runs and get good pitching. It also needs good defense. They are expected to play below-average defense, but they can live with that.

Best Bets for World Series Game 3: Houston Astros vs Philadelphia Phillies

Shoutout to Alex Bregman. Without him, we would have lost our first five over. He hit a home run in the bottom of the fifth with two outs to give us the win. We did lose our half-unit sprinkle on the Phillies' First 5 ML, as Wheeler didn't pitch as well as I had hoped. We still gave out positive, and now we are up 0.5 units in the World…
