What’s the best approach for the Phillies’ 2024 playoff rotation?
As the Phillies head toward what they hope will be a long and successful postseason run, most of the pieces are in place. The starting lineup is set; the back end of the bullpen is locked in. But manager Rob Thomson could juggle what many believe to be the main strength of the ballclub in the starting rotation.
Thomson was elusive when asked after Sanchez’s last start Sunday. “We haven’t really gotten there yet,” the manager said, “Once we get in, if we get in, we’ll figure that out.”The Game 1 starter isn’t a decision at all. Zack Wheeler has been among the best in the game this season, and will get some votes for the NL Cy Young award. As good as his season numbers have been, he’s even better at home: a 10-3 record in 16 starts with a 2.31 ERA and a .
Nola has had his fair share of strong postseason performances in his career. He is 3-1 in four postseason Game 2 starts over the last two seasons. But if the Phillies start Sanchez in a Game 2 at home, regardless of the Game 1 result, they have as close to a sure thing as they can employ this season.
On opening day, Sanchez was the number-4 starter, behind Wheeler, Nola, and Ranger Suarez. But his performances in home games this season should change the order of the rotation.
