Five reasons why a shortened, altered MLB season could benefit the Phillies

by Evan Macy

There are some drawbacks in the plan to be sure, especially for the Phillies, as a schedule comprised of just teams in the NL and AL East could prove to be tougher than the strength their regular schedule would have been. But there are some definite potential benefits too.
