The Philadelphia Phillies are 8-5 in August, and currently sit 0.5 game up for the final Wild Card Spot in the National League after beating the Minnesota Twins last night in the Field of Dreams game.

The Philadelphia Phillies still have have flaws, no doubt. But the combination of Zack Wheeler, Cristopher Sanchez and Jesus Luzardo, plus strong offensive months from Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Marsh, all played a big role in the Phillies finding success in June.
The issues still persist for Aaron nola and the back end of the Phillies rotation, and Jose Alvarado has struggled in his role against left handed hitters this year.
