Philadelphia Phillies 2025 MLB World Series Futures – MLB Lines
The Philadelphia Phillies have gone from a surprise team to an establishment power. The Phillies are coming off a third consecutive playoff season and are a popular future market brand. Since the firing of manager Joe Girardi 51 games into the 2022 season, the Philadelphia Phillies have made the playoffs for three consecutive seasons under Girardi’s replacement, Rob Thomson. An increasing amount of gamblers have taken a liking to the Phillies. Philadelphia had yet another solid, though unspectacular, offseason and will again be in the hunt for a spot in the National League playoffs. The Phillies have become as respected as the Atlanta Braves in the National League East.

Major moves: Acquired SP Jesús Luzardo via trade from the Miami Marlins, Signed RP Jordan Romano to a 1-year deal, Signed OF Max Kepler to a 1-year deal, Signed SP/RP Joe Ross to a 1-year deal.
The defending NL East champs entered the offseason much earlier than they would’ve liked, thudding out of the playoffs in a dispiriting NLDS loss to the Mets on Oct. 9. In the aftermath, all reports indicated that president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski would oversee a roster refresh in the winter.
For the second consecutive October, the Phillies’ vaunted offense had imploded on the big stage beneath an avalanche of strikeouts. Shaking things up seemed logical and prudent. Veteran stalwarts such as Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, and Trea Turner wouldn’t be dealt, but All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm — whose late-season struggles resulted in a surprise NLDS benching — was rumored to be available via trade.
Acquiring Jesús Luzardo to be the team’s No. 5 starter could prove to be a real needle-moving transaction. Just two years ago, the southpaw started Game 1 of the 2023 wild-card series for the Marlins against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Injuries limited him in 2024, but Luzardo is one season removed from being one of the game’s more effective starters.
Philadelphia Phillies Key Players
On offense, the signing of Max Kepler on a one-year deal to be the everyday left fielder represents Philadelphia’s only significant addition. Kepler, like Luzardo, was stymied by injuries in ‘24 after delivering a stellar ‘23. If he can stay healthy, he’ll certainly help the Phillies in their quest to repeat as division winners.
RHP Zack Wheeler is the number-one starter in the Philadelphia rotation. In 2023, Wheeler was 13-6 with a 3.61 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. Last year, Wheeler was 16-7 with a 2.57 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. He is a 2-time All-Star.
1B Bryce Harper mans the marquee for the Phillies. In 2023, Harper produced 84 runs, 29 doubles, 21 home runs, and 80 RBI with a .293 average and .900 OPS. Last year, he produced 85 runs, 42 doubles, 30 home runs, 87 RBI with a .898 OPS.
