Anthony Recker

You know, you look at, obviously, Freddie Peralta comes over.

He's been very solid.

Nothing great, but he's been very solid.

You know, and I just think from a starting rotation perspective, and I'm sorry, I forgot to mention Clay Holmes.

Clay Holmes has been one of the best pitchers in baseball, by the way.

I mean, he's top ten in most, you know, statistical categories from a starting rotation standpoint.

So I think when you look at that,

I give them a really good opportunity to win three out of every five games.

Not that they're going to win all those.

And no, their bullpen hasn't been great.

And certainly their offense has to turn around.

But I would say if you compare, you know, New York's offense to Philly's offense, they're similar, you know, pluses and minuses, right?

You've got guys with stats on the back of their baseball card that have done it before that you expect to turn it around, that you expect to play better.

You know, you've got a bottom of the lineup that probably isn't the best in the league, but it doesn't necessarily have to be because they both have some upside guys, particularly with Crawford out with Philly and obviously guys like Alvarez and Vientos and guys that have shown it in New York but haven't been able to do it consistently.

So I think from that perspective, it's pretty even.

But I would say from the Philly side, I would say with Wheeler coming back from what is a very scary injury and something that we haven't seen a lot of guys come back from and be themselves,

And then the fact that you've got Christopher Sanchez, who I didn't see the rest of his outing today.

I saw he was struggling early on.

I haven't been able to follow the rest of the game.

And his last outing wasn't great.
