00:03 The hottest team entering Wednesday's slate in all of the bigs, that was Philadelphia.

00:08 They had won seven straight games, but all good things must come to a close at some point.

00:13 That seven-game win streak snapped by the Toronto Blue Jays yesterday in Philadelphia.

00:18 Hey, it's a long season. You're not going to win each and every single day.

00:22 But when you look at what Philly has done in the seven-game win streak,

00:26 really here in the last two to three weeks, just how good is this Phil's team at the moment?

00:32 They're ridiculous. They're playing like one of the better teams in all of baseball,

00:35 if not the best team in all of baseball.

00:37 And the teams that can contend with them right now are Atlanta, the Dodgers, the Yankees, and the Orioles at this point.

00:44 Yeah. And the thing is, like, you can poke holes in all of those teams right now.

00:50 For the Yankees, Aaron Judge got off to a really slow start.

00:53 He was starting to heat up a little bit, but you know what? It's still kind of slow out of the gates.

00:57 For the Dodgers, like, is their pitching all the way right?

01:01 Yoshinobu Yamamoto has kind of struggled at points. Glassnow has been awesome.

01:04 Buehler is back. That's great.

01:06 But, you know, seven through nine, we're not performing for the first couple weeks of the season there.

01:10 They're starting to heat up now.

01:12 Atlanta, like, I mean, we just saw Atlanta lose two or three to the Dodgers, maybe even a sweep.

01:18 I'm blanking on what happened on Sunday.

01:20 I mean, each team has a hole to poke in it, except for Philly right now.

01:25 What's the hole? Nick Castellanos is struggling.

01:28 It's okay. You got eight other guys in that lineup, and all eight are hitting the crap out of the ball right now.

01:33 I mean, like, Trey Turner is hitting .340. Alec Boehm is hitting .340 with an OPS in the mid-950s.

01:38 Like, they are so sound offensively, not to mention they have one of the three or four best starting rotation ERAs in all of baseball.

01:48 Buehler has looked like the part. He has looked like the best arm in the game.

01:52 Ranger Suarez looks like the best lefty in baseball right now.

01:55 I think it's Tarek Skubel in Detroit, but Suarez is right there at the moment.

01:59 And, dude, Nola, we know, is going to eat innings.

02:02 Spencer Turnbull had a great start to the year for him.

02:04 Christopher Sanchez, Tywon Walker. The list goes on.

02:07 The Phillies are a wagon right now.
