After middling about for most of the first two months of the season, the Phillies came back roaring this weekend. They were so bad, so inept, and had so few answers that management decided to move on from former skipper Joe Girardi.
It seems to have paid off with immediate, tremendous dividends.
In a three-game sweep of the Angels (+105), Philadelphia scored 26 runs and mashed seven total homers. Their lineup led by Bryce Harper simply looked unstoppable — perhaps the way it always should have.
