Braves look for their sixth straight division title
Fangraphs projects them to the same 89-73 record as the Blue Jays, good enough for a second place finish and the top wild card spot again. PECOTA is a lot more optimistic, giving them the second best projection in all of baseball, taking the division with a 94.5-67.5 projection.The 2022 season saw the Phillies eek into the playoffs, then push their way through to the World Series, exceeding all expectations along the way.
Repeating that success is going to be tough, but that’s more of a testament to the division they’re playing in and chances of making the playoffs as opposed to their own ability. They’re still a good team, arguably the best third best team in baseball. Jean Segura is the only notable position player who left the team, and his production and more was replaced by Trea Turner, who is currently lighting the world on fire in the World Baseball Classic. They also added Josh Harrison and Jake Cave to bolster the bench, while Taijuan Walker was the big add to the rotation.
The bullpen is where the Phillies really focused over the winter, completing a pretty big overhaul. Headed out was Brad Hand, David Robertson and Corey Knebel, while they added Craig Kimbrel, Gregory Soto and Matt Strahm. Following their World Series run, Bryce Harper went for Tommy John surgery, and is likely to miss roughly the first half of the season. He’ll be back for the stretch run though, and will be a huge boost for the team in the second half.
