The NL East was expected to be a tough division in 2019, and it was. There isn't much sense that it will be any different in 2020. One team that spent some bucks to try to take the over the division has kind of fallen flat. The Phillies grabbed their own version of who might be the best player in the game, plus added some key pieces around him. However, it didn't equal success. Timeliness of the Phillies hits was a huge problem.
Philadelphia had trouble scoring runs when they needed them most. Add to that a penchant for giving up runs at all the wrong moments, and Philly ended up four games under .500. The batting order is still very solid. The Phillies will need to pitch to compete with Atlanta and Washington, and the Mets for that matter. They have an ace, but a big contract for a veteran did not lend the expected results. Philadelphia snagged another good pitcher from within the division, so expect improvements.
