Other than Reading, our rookie level teams are the only ones with chances to win the playoffs.

In GCL West is 2.5 games ahead or Tigers West. GCL East is far behind.
In DSL Red has the better record but is 3.0 GB the Cardinals Blue and the Rockies. White is closer (1.5 GB the Diamonbacks 2). Though I think each team has sealed a .500 record or better since it is a 72 game schedule and they have already won at least 36 (though Red could have a shorter schedule since they have played 9 fewer games so far).

Clearwater had a shot a few weeks ago but probably is dependent on Dunedin winning the second half again now. They are tied for second best overall divisionnrecord, which makes the playoffs in the FSL.

[phillychuck]

Bohm and Stephen each with 2 hits already, Bohm with a bomb.

Jake Holmes (3 hits) and Hunter Hearn (HR, 5 RBI) having nights for WMPT.

Moniak with a 2-run triple to add to his league lead!!

I watched a bit of 20 yr old Adam Leverett pitch on milb.tv. He has some qualities of Nick Pivetta with a good build, smooth delivery and a riding fastball. No radar gun readings but it looked to be 90-93 that he commanded well. Breaking ball was average or below. As seems to be true with most Phillies pitchers these days, if they can get his velocity up another 3-4 mph he could be pretty good.
