Hot Start Does Not Always Carry Phillies into Playoffs

The 2024 Phillies are the fifth Phillies team to have at least 35 wins in the first 54 games of the season since MLB introduced playoffs in the 1969 season. The 1993 team made it to the World Series while the 1976 team made it to the NLCS. However, the 2001 team fell into mediocrity and missed the playoffs while the 1995 team collapsed and finished under .500.
