Can the Phillies Win 90 Games?

[jvett77]

With 32 games remaining (home 18, road 14), the Phils would have to continue winning at the park by posting, say, a 12-6 record, which they've been doing all year, but then, also go 8-6 on the road , a 20-12 run, bringing the team to 90-72, .555. Unlikely, but possible, if the hot Ramos and Quinn can stay in the lineup and stay hot, and others step up. Oh, yeah, then, the pitching. Yes, I'm smoking! Still, to make the playoffs, they'd likely have to beat Atlanta to the title, rather than via a wild card.

The 2018 Phils are 70-60, .538, going 41-22 at home, 29-38 on the road.
The road's been a problem all year:

1st half: Home 30-16; road 23-26
2nd half: Home 11-6; road 6-12

So, what will be the outcome? Here are three scenarios for final 32 games:
W__L______________Home__Road
16-16---> 86-76, .531 12-6___4-10
19-13--> 89-73, .549 12-6___7-7 This may be the best Phils can do.
22-10---> 92-70, .567 12-6___10-4

Remaining Games: H18, A14

Can they? Sure. They need to pull their heads out of their asses first though.

That’s the spirit!

Doesn't look good tonight.

 

[jvett77]

Now we discover Ramos can’t run. Oh, Great! Knew the guy was a fat ass but this is ridiculous. That calls for at least aI one game reversal in my best possible scenario.
Best the Phillies can do is 18-14 in the next 32.

Looks like the question should be, Can the Phils win 80 games?

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

You have to be shitting me. I thought that game was in the bag.

 

[jvett77]

Paper bag, I guess.
