Rivalries & Top Games to Attend
Phillies vs Mets
Rival Team: New York Mets
Said to be one of the more heated rivalries in the National League, you’ll be in for a treat when attending a Mets-Phillies game. Between the many brawls of the 1980s, to the unbalanced scheduling in the early 2000s that made divisional rivalries meet each other more frequently, to the controversial statements made by both teams regarding their rivals’ status in the NL, this rivalry is always interesting to watch.
Phillies vs Braves
Rival Team: Atlanta Braves
The Phillies and Braves have both been members of the National League for over a century, but the rivalry between the two didn’t really kick off until the ‘90s. The two teams met in the 1993 NLCS, and in 1994 the Phillies and Braves became NL East rivals. There is plenty of bad blood between the two, so don’t miss it when the Braves and Phils square off.
Phillies vs Nationals
Rival Team: Washington Nationals
Philadelphia and Washington D.C. are located within three hours of each other meaning you’ll find plenty of both teams fans at matchups between the Phillies and Nationals. The mixed crowd and the bragging rights make attending a Phillies-Nats game a can’t miss experience for any baseball fan.
Phillies vs Pirates
Rival Team: Pittsburgh Pirates
The Phillies and Pirates used to have a strong cross-state rivalry. However, things have cooled a bit between these two Keystone State rivals since the Pirates moved to the NL Central. While the rivalry may not be as heated as in the past, you’ll still be in for a good time when taking in a Phillies-Pirates game.
