The Philadelphia Phillies had a rocky start to the season, with a record of 5-10 and falling behind the Atlanta Braves by six games in the National League East. This caused a decrease in their ticket and handle shares for championship futures such as World Series Champions, National League Pennant Champions, and National League East Champions. However, since then, the Phillies have played over .500 baseball, and their upcoming series in Atlanta could eliminate their early deficit.
Despite their slow start, the Phillies remain a popular favorite in some futures markets. Their World Series odds dropped from +1600 to +2500 during their 5-10 start. Additionally, their NL pennant ticket share decreased from 17.8% to 13.7% in the first four weeks of the season, but it has since leveled off.
The Phillies’ slow start caused their division title odds to decrease from +600 on opening day to +800 when they went 5-10. However, their share of tickets and handles has increased since then.
