Summary
The Philadelphia Phillies, under interim manager Don Mattingly, have shown improvement, but face a significant challenge with their right-handed hitters struggling against lefties. Despite a strong start with Mattingly, the teams on-base plus slugging against lefties is the worst in the majors, with stars like Trea Turner, Alec Bohm, and J.T. Realmuto underperforming. Only four Phillies, including Bryce Harper, exceed the league average ops against lefties. If this issue isnt addressed, playoff hopes may diminish, and Mattingly might need to consider external help to fill the gap. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
