## Resource

The Phillies are on a hot streak, fueled by elite pitching from Wheeler and Sanchez, but their offense still needs a boost. With Kyle Schwarber, Harper, and Marsh stepping up, the team’s eyes are on Taylor Ward—Orioles’ power hitter with a proven track record. Though his stats dipped this year, Ward’s bat could ignite the Phillies’ lineup, especially in the outfield. As a rental, he’s a cost-effective gamble that could be the key to catching the Braves and making a deep playoff run. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
