Phillies, Mets: Worst in MLB, What's the Issue?

0:00It's April 28th. This is MLB News Today, powered by AI, you're around the diamond update. I'm Corey with the story. The Philadelphia Phillies are stumbling hard out the gate this season, sitting at 9 wins and 19 losses after 28 games. That's the worst mark in the league right now, with no quit turnaround in sight as they head into a much needed day off. Last week got ugly fast, dropping 1 in 6 against the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves. They got straight swept in a 4 game set by the Cubs, looking outmatched every step. Meanwhile, the Mets mirror their misery with the exact same 9 and 19 record, both 5 and 10 at home and 4 and 9 on the road. It's wild how synced up these two are, but fans are calling the Phillies the bigger letdown after sky high preseason hype. Dig deeper though, and Philly owns the league's worst run differential at minus 54, way behind New York's minus 30. The gap screams deeper issues beyond just the wins column.
