The Philadelphia Phillies seem to be one of the more popular teams in Major League Baseball.
It makes sense with Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, and Trea Turner as to why the Phillies are one of the league’s favorite teams.
Not only are the Phillies popular and loaded with talent, but they are also a winning team that has made deep runs in the postseason in each of the last 2 seasons.
The Phillies have proven their winning ways yet again this year.

With their win on Sunday over the New York Mets 2-1, the Phillies improved their record to 90 wins and 59 losses on the season.
The Phillies have made it to the National League Championship Series each of the last 2 seasons.
They ended up losing the World Series in 2022 to the Houston Astros 4 games to 2.
In 2023, they lost the National League Championship Series to the Arizona Diamondbacks in game 7.
Pitching and power seem to be the two biggest traits to have when it comes to winning in the postseason.
Zach Wheeler and Aaron Nola remain with the Phillies in 2024 and provide them with a strong 1,2 punch in their starting rotation.
The Phillies also have the power as they have combined for 180 home runs this season with a team on base plus slugging of .753.
Phillies fans are eager to see their team back in the postseason in 2024 as they prepare to make another playoff run and try to win their first World Series since 2008.
